Agra Fort
UNESCO World Heritage Site
Agra Fort, the walled imperial city of the Mughals, was rebuilt in red sandstone by Emperor Akbar from 1565 and later embellished in white marble by Shah Jahan. Within its 2.5 km ramparts lie Jahangir Mahal, Khas Mahal, Diwan-i-Aam, Diwan-i-Khas, Sheesh Mahal, Musamman Burj and the Moti Masjid. From Musamman Burj, where Shah Jahan spent his last years, visitors get a memorable river-side view of the Taj Mahal.

Weekly closure / special viewing: Open all seven days (a convenient option on Fridays when the Taj Mahal is closed).
