Where is Emperor Akbar’s tomb?
The Tomb of Akbar the Great is an important Mughal architectural masterpiece, built 1605–1613, set in 48 Ha (119 acres) of grounds in Sikandra, a suburb of Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India.
The third Mughal Emperor, Akbar the Great (1555–1605), commenced its construction in around 1600, according to Tartary tradition to commence the construction of one's tomb during one's lifetime. Akbar planned his own tomb and selected a suitable site for it. After his death, Akbar's son Jahangir completed the construction in 1605-1613. Akbar was one of the greatest emperors in the history of India.

Any relationship whatsoever with the Taj Mahal or was that just a good tomb building area? I would like to see more relavant information in the explanations. Taj Mahal is the only reason I picked the correct answer because everyone knows the Taj Mahal is in Agra, right ?
