The tomb sits at the center of a plinth, about 21 feet (7m) high. The top of its central dome reaches 140 feet from the ground.
Humayun`s Tomb is now one of the best-preserved Mughal
monuments in Delhi.
Built by Humayun’s widow in his memory.
Humayun`s Tomb is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Jantar Mantar:-
Located in Connaught Place, New Delhi.
Built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II of Jaipur in the year 1724.
One of the most intriguing structures of the capital, one that
explodes in a burst of questions in the mind of the inquisitive tourist.
The Jantar Mantar is not only a timekeeper of celestial bodies, it
also tells a lot about the technological achievements under the Rajput kings and their attempt to resolve the mysteries regarding astronomy.
The Jantar Mantar of Delhi is only one of the five observatories built by Sawai Jai Singh II.
