Agra was the capital of the Mughal empire in the 16th and 17th centuries. The city began to grow in 1504 when the Sultan of Delhi, Sikander Lodhi moved his capital here to keep a check on the warring factions of his empire. Agra’s greatest days arrived during the reign of Akbar the Great (1556 – 1605), with the construction of the Agra fort.

Agra Fort - Situated on the banks of the river Yamuna, the fort was built by the great Mughal visionary Emperor Akbar. His son Jahangir and grandson Shah Jehan added to this imposing structure during their rule. The palaces, mosque and audience halls contained within its massive wall of red sandstone are perfect examples of blending Islamic and Hindu traditions.
Taj Mahal – With its incredible lacy white grandeur the Taj Mahal is perhaps the most perfect architectural monument in the world. To the poet Tagore it was a ‘tear in the face of eternity’.
