A palace between the white-marble Diwan-i-Khas and the redstone Jahangiri Mahal. It is the earliest attempt of emperor Shah Jahan to convert an existing redstone building in accordance with his taste.
Hall of Public Audience

Shah Burj
An octagonal tower built by Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. It is said that there was a small marble palace built by Akbar at this site, which was later demolished by Jahangir to erect new buildings. The tower looks out over the River Yamuna, offering what is traditionally considered to be one of the most poignant views of the Taj Mahal. It is here that Shah Jahan along with his favorite daughter Jahanara Begum had spent his last few years as a captive of his son Aurangzeb. He laid here on his death bed while gazing at the Taj Mahal.
