History of India, 1658 AD, Shah Jahan built Taj Mahal, Jamia Masjid and Red Fort
The Mughal Empire ruled India from 1526 to 1857, and during its peak, the Emperor Shah Jahan was in charge from 1628 to 1658.
During his reign, Shah Jahan oversaw the construction of several iconic buildings, including the Taj Mahal, the Jamia Masjid, and the Red Fort in Delhi.
The Taj Mahal was commissioned in 1632 and was completed in 1653 as a mausoleum for Shah Jahan's beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
The Jamia Masjid was built in 1656 and is one of the largest mosques in India.
The Red Fort was built in 1639 and served as the residence of the Mughal emperors. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The construction of the Taj Mahal and Red Fort required a large workforce of skilled artisans and laborers.
Shah Jahan's immense wealth enabled him to build these grand monuments, and they remain some of the most impressive examples of Mughal architecture.
