Agra fort is one of the many historical sites to visit in India.

Listed as a UNESCO World heritage site, it was the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty till 1638 when the capital was shifted from Agra to Delhi.

It was originally built as a military fort by the first Mughal emperor in India, Akbar, on the banks of the Yamuna river but was later transformed into a palace.

It is an incredible piece of architecture history showing fine details within the fort, carved into marbles and stones.

Several of the buildings are made from pure marbles with beautiful carvings depicting Indo-Muslim art.
