8. The Taj Mahal (India)
Did you know it is a mausoleum built for love? That romantic story adds a different component, in addition to the beauty of the construction.
The king suffered the worst tragedy of his life. Her beloved Mumtaz Mahal did not resist the delivery of her 14th daughter and on her deathbed, the queen asked him to build in his memory a monument like no other in the world. And the king did his will.
The Taj Mahal mausoleum has that name in honor of his wife and means Pearl of the Palace and although it is a tomb it is a beautiful place without equal. In reality, this mausoleum is in danger, since its foundations are undergoing a process of deterioration, due to its age and the decomposition caused by the highly polluted river that borders it.
