Taj Mahal

The last one of the new list is the one I'd most enjoy visiting, the Taj Mahal. Just look at the picture there. The graceful arches and that enormous dome. Beautiful, no?
An emperor built it in the 1600's as a mausoleum for his favorite wife. He must have really loved her. FP Gal, don't expect such extravagance when your time comes, ok?
The building is surrounded by gardens which are divided by raised walkways. The plan of the garden is based on the geographic idea of Jannah (Eden or Paradise). Sounds very beautiful.
