It was built around 1631 as a mausoleum (a tomb) for the wife of Emperor Shah jahan for his wife Mumtaz Mahal by the emperor himself. When the Shah died he was also buried alongside his beloved wife.
Although the Taj Mahal is now a beautiful tourist attraction and one of the most beautiful structures in the world, it is still essentially a tomb, and continues to be so to this day, as both the Shah and his wife are still buried at the centre of the building.
