The Taj Mahal is considered the most beautiful example of a palace, a style that combines elements of Islamic, Persian, Indian and even Turkish architecture.
Explanation:
The Taj Mahal is a funerary monument built between 1631 and 1654 in the city of Agra, Uttar Pradesh state (India), on the banks of the Yamuna river, by the Muslim emperor Shah Jahan of the Mughal dynasty. The imposing set of buildings was erected in honor of his favorite wife, Arjumand Banu Begum - better known as Mumtaz Mahal - who died in the delivery of her fourteenth daughter. It is estimated that its construction required the effort of some 20,000 workers under the direction of a group of architects led by the architect of the court, Ustad Ahmad Lahori.
