Akbar’s Tomb is located in Sikandra, a suburb of Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. Built in 1605–13, it is a notable example of Mughal architecture. The mausoleum is said to have been begun by Akbar himself, but his son Jahangir completed the design and building. It is five stories high, built mostly of red sandstone, decorated with geometric shapes and floral and calligraphic work on white marble panels.
