Memories of the Taj Mahal. I visited India and the Taj Mahal in 2020. It is simply the most beautiful and breathtaking architecture and fully justifies it's status as one of the seven wonders of the world. It was built in 1631 by the emperor Shah Jahan to immortalise his wife Mumtaz Mahal who died in child birth. The marble is inlaid with precious stones - agate, turquoise, bloodstone, cornelian mother of pearl, jasper, malachite and lapis lazuli, which is unique to Agra.
