Agra Fort is a large and powerful fort located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, just 2.5 km from the Taj Mahal. It was built in the 16th century by Emperor Akbar and later developed by other Mughal rulers. Made of red sandstone, the fort has high walls, grand gates, and beautiful palaces inside, like the Jahangir Mahal, Diwan-i-Aam, and Sheesh Mahal. The fort was both a military stronghold and a royal residence. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and gives visitors a glimpse into the rich history and lifestyle of the Mughal emperors.
