Agra Fort
Near the gardens of the Taj Mahal stands the important
16th-century Mughal monument known as the Red Fort of Agra. This
powerful fortress of red sandstone encompasses, within its 2.5-km-long
enclosure walls, the imperial city of the Mughal rulers. It comprises
many fairy-tale palaces, such as the Jahangir Palace and the Khas Mahal,
built by Shah Jahan; audience halls, such as the Diwan-i-Khas; and two
very beautiful mosques.
