A journey through Mughal history

Agra Fort, also known as the Red Fort of Agra, is a magnificent Mughal fortress and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Begun under Emperor Akbar in the 16th century and later expanded by Shah Jahan, it served as an imperial residence. Its red sandstone walls surround a remarkable blend of architectural traditions.

Explore landmarks such as Diwan-i-Aam, Diwan-i-Khas, Jahangiri Mahal, Khas Mahal and Sheesh Mahal. From the fort's riverside pavilions, take in views towards the Taj Mahal and imagine the history of the Mughal court.
