The Tomb of Akbar

On our drive back to Delhi from Agra, we stopped here.
The third Mughal Emperor Akbar the Great (1555-1605), himself commenced its construction in around 1600, according to Tartary tradition to commence the construction of one's tomb during one's lifetime. Akbar himself planned his own tomb and selected a suitable site for it, after his death, Akbar's son Jahangir completed the construction in 1605-1613. Akbar was one of the greatest emperors of his time
