The Taj Mahal ~sarah

My favorite architectural structure in the world besides the Eifel Tower is the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal is sometimes known as the "crown of pallaces".  It is also one of the Art museums in India. It is my favorite because of the onion dome roofs, the white marble, and the pretty towers.


The onion domes are made out of white marble with a metal lantern on top.  I like them because the middle one pops out because it is so big!

The entire pallace is made out of white marble.  The pallace looks shiny when it doesn't have dirt and grime on it and it glows. 


The pretty towers was used as a look out tower during the last world wars.  The Taj Mahal was made as a memorial for the builders third wife when they had there 14Th baby.  Isn't that impressive?  They call the Taj Mahal that because the builder's wife's name is Mahal. I am looking forward to seeing the Taj Mahal when I visit India.
