Some say that the Taj Mahal was inspired by this tomb...

New Delhi (India)

Actually I think they are right...
***
The tomb of Safdarjang was built to commemorate the memory of Wazir of Hindustan.
It is situated in the center and has a huge dome.
There are four water canals leading to four buildings.
One of the canals has an ornately decorated gateway,
while the other three are pavilions,
with living quarters built into the walls.
There are octagonal towers in the corners.
There are also four oblong tanks (canals) on each side of the tomb.
