Agra Fort

Agra Fort is a huge and powerful fort made of red sandstone. It was the main residence of the Mughal emperors before they shifted their capital to Delhi. The fort looks like a strong castle from the outside, but inside it has beautiful palaces, gardens, and meeting halls.

Some popular buildings inside are Jahangiri Mahal, Diwan-i-Aam, Diwan-i-Khas, and the Musamman Burj, a balcony from where Shah Jahan was said to have spent his last days looking at the Taj Mahal far away. The grand Amar Singh Gate welcomes visitors into the fort.

The fort has a rich history full of royal life, battles, and politics. Walking inside, you can imagine how emperors like Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan lived. Today, Agra Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best places to learn about Mughal culture and architecture.
