I forgot it. Hagia Sofia may be the number one in the world.

The Taj Mahal - epic, majestic and IMO the most beautiful mausoleum and tribute to love in the world.
The Emperor Shāh Jahān commissioned it for his wife Mumtaz Mahal who died during childbirth. He was later deposed and imprisoned and from his "prison" he could see the Taj. It is also rumored that he had planed a black marble version for himself.

I visited it on a misty day which gave it a somewhat melancholy feel.
