Back in Agra, Akbar's Mausoleum is another impressive Mughal monument. He started the construction of it himself, and his son Jehangir finished it, changing it somewhat. Like the Taj Mahal, it's in a large walled area with outbuildings on each side. The southern building is in great shape and is used as the ticket office.
