The Taj Mahal was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a tomb for his third wife. Construction began in 1631 and was completed 22 years later. The building, which is a UNESCO site and is often considered one of the seven wonders of the world, and its surrounding gardens, are almost perfect in their symmetry, the only piece out of place is the burial site of Shah Jahan, who is placed off center of his wife.
