Agra Fort

Agra Fort is a major tourist attraction located 2 km to the north west of the Taj Mahal on the banks of the same river. Visitors to the city often combine a visit to Agra Fort with the more famous Taj Mahal. Shah Jahan, the Mughal Emperor who commissioned the construction of the Taj Mahal, resided at Agra Fort and made many alterations to the existing structure. The Taj Mahal is also visible from many of the towers in Agra Fort and this view alone is visiting for.

Construction of Agra Fort began in 1565 and to some extent didn’t stop until Indian independence with the last residents, the British Army, making some very damaging alterations. Agra Fort is a huge compound, similar to a walled city, covering 380,000 square metres with a high double thickness wall all the way around. There are four grand gates in this wall the most impressive of which, the Delhi Gate, is the most photographed part of Agra Fort. Inside the wall is an eclectic mix of royal palaces and more utilitarian buildings such soldier’s barracks, kitchens and other facilities which would have been needed to service a fort of this size. Agra Fort was built at a turbulent time in India’s history when regional rulers were constantly fighting each other for control of Agra and the surrounding area. The fort was constructed not as a palace but as a military installation designed to serve as a defensive position during invasion attempts. The intricate architecture and stunning artwork is a surprising and notable addition to a structure built for war. This is one of the main things that makes Agra Fort so special.
