Musamman Burj Octagonal Tower also known as the Saman Burj or the Shah-burj, is a beautiful octagonal tower standing close to the Shah Jahan's private hall Diwan-e-Khas in Agra Fort. Musamman Burj was built by Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. It is said that at first a small marble palace built by Akbar was situated at this site, which was later demolished by Jehangir to erect new buildings. Shah Jahan in his turn chose this site to erect the multi-storied marble tower inlaid with precious stones for Mumtaz Mahal. It was built between 1631-40 and offers exotic views of the famous Taj Mahal.
