Taj Mahal

The majestic Taj Mahal and the red sandstone Kau Ban Mosque are two of the most iconic historical sites in Agra, India. Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the early 17th century, the Taj Mahal stands as a timeless symbol of enduring love. The sun reflecting off the white ivory marble of the sprawling monument, offers stunning views and an unforgettable sight. Kau Ban Mosque, which predates the Taj Mahal, is located to the west of the Taj Mahal. The exterior of the mosque is adorned in intricate carvings and arabesque design elements, and the interiors feature beautiful tiles patterns. Both sites are open daily, allowing visitors to explore them, learn more about the historical context and take some beautiful pictures.
