Agra Fort, located in Agra, India, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most significant historical monuments in the country. Constructed primarily out of red sandstone by the Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1573, the fort served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors until 1638. The fort complex is a blend of both Islamic and Hindu architectural styles, featuring formidable walls, grand gates, and a series of palaces, mosques, and audience halls. The fort's most notable structures include the Jahangir Mahal, Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience), Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), and the Musamman Burj, where Emperor Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb. Agra Fort offers a stunning view of the Taj Mahal, which lies just 2.
