The Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Agra, India, is renowned for its perfect symmetry and earthquake-resistant design, where corner towers are intentionally tilted outward to protect the main structure during natural calamities; construction began in 1631 and the white marble building was completed in 1648, taking 17 years, before being abandoned for nearly 200 years after the Mughal dynasty's decline, with British control beginning in 1803 until India's independence on August 15, 1947.
