Tomb of Akbar the Great

The Mughal Emperor Akbar, is buried in this small town of Agra. It is believed that Akbar sketched and ordered the construction of his own mausoleum during his life, which was changed and completed by his son. The result is this stunning perfectly symmetrical resort, in which the tomb fills a large walled central garden. The front door is an amazing red sandstone structure with a huge central arch finished with a lush white marble a polychromatic mosaic, slate black and colored stones. The large garden where monkeys walk around, is a typical charbagh, a walled garden divided in four quadrants.
