Maqbara

A maqbara, often referred to as a mausoleum, is a structure built to house the tomb of a respected individual, particularly in Islamic cultures. These edifices can vary in design and size, ranging from simple graves to elaborate monuments. Maqbaras serve as places of remembrance and respect for the deceased, often featuring beautiful architecture and intricate art. They are significant in various cultures as they not only honor the memory of individuals but also reflect the artistic and historical values of the society that created them. Examples include the Taj Mahal and the mausoleums of various emperors.
