Agra Fort :The
magnificent towers, bastions, ramparts, and gateways of the Agra
Fort symbolize the stature and power of Mughal Emperor Akbar.
Built between 1565 and 1571 AD, it is said that the emperor Shah
Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal, was imprisoned by his son
Aurangzeb. The magnificent Agra fort, though started by Emperor
Akbar, was completed by his grandson Shah Jahan.
Tajmahal :The most
beautiful building in the world. In 1631 the emperor Shah Jahan
built the Taj Mahal in memory of his wife Mumtaz, who died in
childbirth. The white marble mausoleum at Agra has become the
monument of a man's love for a woman.
Shah Jahan came to power in 1622 when he seized the throne from his
father, while murdering his brothers to ensure his claim to
rule. He was known as an extravagant and cruel leader. But he
redeemed himself by his generosity to his friends and the poor,
by his passion in adorning India with some of its most beautiful
architecture, and by his devotion to his wife Mumtaz Mahal -
Ornament of the Palace.He had married her when he was 21, when
he already had two children by an earlier consort. Mumtaz gave
her husband 14 children in eighteen years, and died at the age
of 39 during the birth of the final child. Shah Jahan built the
Taj Mahal as a monument to her memory and her fertility, but
then relapsed into a life of scandalous behavior. This tomb was
only one of hundreds of beautiful buildings that Shah Jahan
erected, mostly at Agra and in the new Dehli that came into
being under his planning.

Agra is built a city predominantly in Red Sandstone and is
called Fatehpur Sikri. This town was built by the Mughal
Emperor, Akbar. He had planned this city as his capital but
shortage of water compelled him to abandon the city. After this
within 20 years, the capital of Mughals was shifted to Lahore .
Fatehpur Sikri was built during 1571 and 1585. Today this ghost city has
a population of about 30,000. This deserted city has retained
many of the old structures, because of the efforts of the
Archaeological department .
Fatehpur Sikri is one of the finest examples of Mughal architectural
splendour at its height. Though the city is in ruins, it is a
place to visit if one comes to Agra.But in real terms Fatehpur
Sikri is a place where one should spend some time. The sunset
over the ruins is sight to cherish.
Fatehpur Sikri is the best example of the culmination of Hindu and Muslim
architecture. Fatehpur Sikri Mosque is said to be a copy of the
mosque in Mecca and has designs, derived from the Persian Hindu
architecture.
