Humayun’s and Safdarjang’sTomb

Humayun’s Tomb is an architectural forerunner to the famous Taj Mahal, as well as most of the later Mughal buildings. Emperor Humayun’s widow, Haji Begum, built the tomb in Nizamuddin style in 1565. The construction is a splendid example of the building style of the Moguls, when it was at its zenith.
Safdarjang’sTomb was the last great Mughal construction in New Delhi. The mighty building with its characteristic marble dome was erected in 1753-1754 by Emperor Muhammad Shah, the last Mogul Wazir’s (Prime Minister’s) son, in honour of his father.
