Mainly Tombs and Forts were developed during the Mughal Period of Medieval Age of Indian history. This style of architecture is actually the blend of Islamic, Persian and Indian style of architecture.

wonders of the world), Humayun’s Tomb in Delhi, Akbar’s Tomb in Sikandra near Agra, Charminar in Hyderabad, Red Fort in Delhi, Red Fort of Agra and Qutb Minar in Delhi.
