Taj Mahal
The sheer magnificence of India’s Taj Mahal is a dream-like vision your eyes won’t soon forget. Built entirely of white marble and inlaid with semi-precious stones like jade, crystal, coral, and turquoise, this ethereal temple took 20,000 workers and 22 years to complete, in 1643, as a mausoleum for Emperor Shah Jahan’s wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Rising above a river and framed by four minarets, the Taj, with its perfect symmetry, intricate mosaic details, and utter refinement, is not only one of the world’s most beautiful buildings, it’s also considered a testament to undying love and a symbol of lasting beauty.
