Seven Wonders Of The World

While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar part of the monument, the Taj Mahal is actually an integrated complex of structures. It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 when it was described as a "universally admired masterpiece of the world's heritage.

As well as being a potent symbol of Christianity, the statue has become an icon of the city.
