Agra is renowned worldwide for being home to the Taj Mahal, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. A visit to India is incomplete without a visit to this enchanting monument that epitomizes love. Some of the prominent specimens of Mughal architecture in Agra, which are a must visit during your holidays to Agra, India are the Taj Mahal, the 'abandoned city of Fatehpur Sikri' and the Agra Fort.
The Taj is one monument that is a must visit during your tours and vacations to Agra, India. The Taj symbolizes the undying love of an emperor (Shah Jahan) for his beloved and most favorite wife (Mumtaz Mahal). The intricate inlay work with precious and semi-precious stones that was done on the walls of the Taj Mahal is one of the finest specimens of Mughal architecture in India.
The imperial city of the Mughal dynasty between 1571 and 1584, Fatehpur Sikri was built by Mughal Emperor Akbar. The architectural grandeur of this deserted city cannot be described in words and one can only experience the aura of its magnificent edifices by seeing them.
Agra Fort is another dimension to the city that attracts tourists. Built by Akbar in 1654, Agra Fort worked both as a military strategic point as well as the royal residence for the emperor. Most of the buildings within the Agra Fort are a mixture of different architectural styles. The assimilation of these different styles has given the buildings within the fort a distinctive look.
