Agra has some of the finest forts of the Mughal era. The
Agra Fort is an impressive Mughal architecture build of red sandstone and marble. Some of the iconic structures in the palace include the Shish Mahal, Diwan-e-Aam, and the Diwan-e-Khas. The Pearl Mosque and Jahangiri Mahal inside the
Agra Red Fort are other classic examples of Mughal grandeur.
Fatehpur Sikri, the once imperial city of the Mughals, represents their glorious era with its grand meeting chambers, astounding mosques, and imposing filigree palaces. Despite the passage of decades, this abandoned city still shows its splendor through magnificent sandstone walls, intricate craftsmanship, grand entrances, and imposing ambiance. One of the near-perfect Mughal tombs includes the impressive Itmad-Ud-Daulah mausoleum, dedicated to Mirza Ghiyas Beg. Every inch of this monument speaks sophistication and subtlety. You will be amazed to view the beautiful minarets and spell-binding pietra dura inlays studded with hand-chiseled semi-precious gemstones.
