The Bagh-e-Babur garden is the final resting place of the first Mughal emperor, Babur.

Although present-day Afghanistan was not Babur’s original homeland (he was born in Ferghana in present-day Uzbekistan), he felt sufficiently enamoured of Kabul that he desired to be buried here.

When Babur died in 1530, he was initially buried in Agra against his wishes. Between 1539 and 1544, Sher Shah Suri, a rival of Babur’s son Humayun, fulfilled his wishes and interred him at Babur’s Garden.

The headstone placed on his grave read “If there is a paradise on earth, it is this, it is this, it is this.”
