Best Answer

Under Shah Jahan the Mughal architecture reached its peak. The most famous among them is the Taj Mahal which was built for his favorite wife Mumtaz Mahal. He founded a new city called the Shahjahanabad, which is now known as Old Delhi. He shifted the capital of Mughal Empire to Delhi and the Red Fort was built as the official residence of Mughal Emperors. The Jama Masjid at Delhi, Pearl Mosque at Agra and Lahore, Jahangir's Tomb at Lahore, Shalimar gardens at Lahore are some of his other well-known buildings. The famous Peacock Throne was lost followed by Nadir Shah's invasion of India.
