Visiting Humayun's Tomb

Walk the garden axes before approaching the main tomb. Seeing the building from several sides makes the relationship between the raised structure and its formal landscape easier to appreciate.
Why this place matters
Completed in 1570, the tomb was an early major garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent and influenced later monuments, including the Taj Mahal.
