1993
Humayun's Tomb
Humayuns grav (Maqbaera e Humayun) er mogulkejseren Humayuns grav i Delhi, Indien. Graven blev bestilt af Humayuns første hustru og hovedgemal, kejserinde Bega Begum (også kendt som Haji Begum), i 1569-70 og designet af Mirak Mirza Ghiyas, en persisk arkitekt, som hun havde valgt. Det var den første havegrav på det indiske subkontinent og ligger i Nizamuddin East i Delhi, Indien, tæt på Dina-panah-citadellet, også kendt som Purana Qila (det gamle fort), som Humayun grundlagde i 1533. Det var også det første bygningsværk, hvor der blev brugt rød sandsten i en sådan skala. Graven blev erklæret for UNESCO's verdensarv i 1993 og har siden da gennemgået en omfattende restaurering, som er afsluttet. Ud over Humayuns hovedgravkammer er der flere mindre monumenter langs stien, der fører op til det fra hovedindgangen i vest, herunder et, der endda er tyve år ældre end selve hovedgraven; det er gravkomplekset for Isa Khan Niyazi, en afghansk adelsmand ved Sher Shah Suris hof i Suri-dynastiet, der kæmpede mod mogulerne, bygget i 1547 e.Kr.

Humayun's Tomb
Humayun's tomb (Maqbaera e Humayun) is the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun in Delhi, India. The tomb was commissioned by Humayun's first wife and chief consort, Empress Bega Begum (also known as Haji Begum), in 1569-70, and designed by Mirak Mirza Ghiyas, a Persian architect chosen by her. It was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent, and is located in Nizamuddin East, Delhi, India, close to the Dina-panah Citadel, also known as Purana Qila (Old Fort), that Humayun founded in 1533. It was also the first structure to use red sandstone at such a scale. The tomb was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993, and since then has undergone extensive restoration work, which is complete. Besides the main tomb enclosure of Humayun, several smaller monuments dot the pathway leading up to it, from the main entrance in the West, including one that even pre-dates the main tomb itself, by twenty years; it is the tomb complex of Isa Khan Niyazi, an Afghan noble in Sher Shah Suri's court of the Suri dynasty, who fought against the Mughals, constructed in 1547 CE.
