Agra
Fort
Brief Description
Just next to the gardens
of the Taj Majal, the Red Fort of Agra, an important
Mogul monument of the 17th century, is a powerful
fortress of red sandstone which encompasses, within its
enclosure walls of 2.5 kilometres, the imperial city of
the Mogul rulers. It comprises many fairy-like palaces,
such as the Jahangir Palace or the Khas Mahal, built by
Shah Jahan, the reception rooms, such as the
Diwan-i-Khas, and two very beautiful mosques.
