The tomb of Mughal emperor Humayun is located near the famous old fort of Delhi. In the memory of Humayun, this mausoleum was started by his wife Hamida Bano Begum in 1562, while the structure was designed by Parsi architect Mirk Mirza Ghieth. The tomb was erected nine years after Humayun's death. Humayun's Tomb of Delhi is a major tourist attraction between Lodhi Road and Mathura Road in eastern Nizamuddin area and in 1993 it was declared as World Heritage by UNESCO and the best example of Mughal architecture in India.

Charbagh Garden - This quadrangular parquetry garden is the first and the first of its kind in South Asia.
Barber's Tomb - In the Chabaddivari there is a Tomb named Barber-Ka-Gumbad, which is the grave of a royal barber. However, because of no insignia on it, it is difficult to find out who is this grave.
