"Humayun, the second Mughal emperor, is buried in this tomb,, the first great example of a Mughal garden tomb and inspiration for several later monuments, such as the incomparable Taj Mahal. Built in 1565 by a Persian architect Mirak Mirza Ghiyas, it was commissioned by Humayun's senior widow, Haji Begum. Often called 'a dormitory of the House of Timur,' the graves in its chambers include Humayun's wives and Dara Shikoh, Shah Jahan's scholarly son. Also in the complex are the Afsarwala Tomb, the octagonal tomb and mosque of Isa Khan, a noble at Sher Shah's court, and the tomb of Humayun's favorite barber. The Arab ki Sarai housed the Persian masons who built the tomb." -Eyewitness Travel Delhi
