The Taj Mahal is often considered the pinnacle of Mughal architecture, blending elements from Persian, Ottoman Turkish, and Indian architectural styles. The city was once the capital of the Mughal Empire and is a scenic river city along the Yamuna River, filled with Mughal palaces, forts, tombs, beautiful gardens, and the old Mughal Bazar.
