: This monument built in red and brown sandstone with two storied towers in the corners is one of the last examples of the Mughal architecture, which houses the tomb of Safdarjang. This tomb is adjacent to the small Safdarjung airport. Down the road from Humayun's Tomb lies the mausoleum of Safdarjang, the second Nawab of Avadh. Situated on a high terrace faced with arched openings leading to series of cells on the inside, the Safdarjang's Tomb is often described as the `Last flicker of Mughal Architecture in India'. The Nawab of Avadh built the Safdarjang Tomb in 1753-54 for his father, Safdarjang. The tomb stands on a high terrace in an extensive garden. The tomb has spacious pavilions with ceilings ornamented with incised and painted plaster. The polygonal towers are inlaid with marble and the building is topped with a bulbous marble dome on a 16-sided drum.
