The Taj Mahal is no doubt one of the greatest monuments of the world, being familiar to most of its population. The marble structure combines styles from traditional Persian, Turkish and Indian architecture. It is elaborately decorated on its exterior as well as interior, being heavily textured in wall carvings and calligraphy. It is symmetrical and appears identical from all four sides. It is also interesting to know that the four large pillars around the Taj Mahal stand at 94 degrees from its base, preventing them from falling on the central structure in the case of an earthquake.
