And where is this?

These photos are from the Taj Mahal in India. We went there about ten years ago for our honeymoon.

Was it romantic?

Yeah, the Taj Mahal was a very romantic place.

The guide told us there is a famous love story behind this building that all Indians learn in school.

I think it was during the 1600s and the princess at that time died while giving birth to her 14th child.

The emperor loved the princess so much and was so sad when she died that he ordered the palace to be built in her honor.

Wow, that sounds very romantic. It looks amazing.

Yes, it’s gorgeous. It’s also larger in real life than it looks in the photos.

The building is very tall and there are gardens and a wall around it all. It’s all built in this white stone.

And some walls of the building are decorated with jewels.

It must have been very crowded when you were there.

Yes, it’s a very famous tourist destination, so there are thousands of visitors every day.
