Humayun's Tomb is a tomb in Delhi, the
capital of India, which was built in the 16th century. It is the burial
place of the second Mughal Emperor, Humayun. Following the emperor's
death, his widow order the construction of the tomb, which took place
over nine years. The mausoleum features beautifully contrasting white
marble and red sandstone, and is built in the center of a huge square
Charbagh (four-square garden), which covers over 10 hectares. It became
the basis for the architecture style known as Mughal architecture, which
incorporates aspects of traditional Indian and Persian architecture in
many areas. Mughal architecture was also very influential on the Taj
Mahal. Humayun's Tomb was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1993.
