Wonders of the World on The Hard Shoulder
Continuing our summer series “Wonders of the World” it was time, this week, to look at the Crown of Palaces, the Taj Mahal. This iconic building is situated on the south bank of the Yamuna river in the Indian City of Agra. Danielle O’Donovan is Programme Manager at the Nano Nagle Place in Cork City, and returned to the show to tell Ivan all about it. Why was it built? Who was it built for? What does it do?
