In 1631, the Taj Mahal was built in Agra (Uttar Pradesh), India.

The Taj Mahal was built by Shah Jahan who was the fifth Mughal Emperor of India. He built the Taj Mahal for his wife Mumtaz Mahal who died giving birth to her 14th child.. It took the Taj Mahal 22 years to be complete. The Taj Mahal was helped built by 20,000 workers and more than 1,000 elephants. In 1653, the building was complete but sadly, the precious stones that were on the building were ripped off the walls by the Britishers during the Indian rebellion of 1857. Today people tourist and/or visit and love this beautiful building.
