Visit Agra
Fort - Built by Emperor Akbar on the west bank

and gardens by Jehangir, Agra Fort today
dominates the centre of the city.

crescent-shaped fort with its 20-metre high,
2.4-km outer walls contains a maze of buildings
that form a small city within a city.
One can
enter the fort only through the Amar Singh Gate.
The public access is limited to the southern
part of the fort which includes nearly all the
buildings of tourist interest.
The
Diwan-i-Aam (hall of public audience) and
Diwan-i-Khas (hall of private audience) were
built by Shahjahan for receiving audiences.
Jehangir's palace built by Akbar was the largest
private residence in the fort.
Close to Diwan-i-Khas, stands an octagonal tower known as
Musamman Burj.
It was here
that Shahjahan breathed his last after seven
years of imprisonment.

Mahal (the mirror palace) and the Anguri Bagh
(the Grape Garden).
