Agra, on the Yamuna River, was a capital of the Mughal Empire and is home to the Taj Mahal, one of the most famous buildings in the world. Two other UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri, are also here.
The Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, who died in 1631. Its white marble changes color with the light, from pink at dawn to gold at sunset. Visit at sunrise for the best light and fewer crowds. It is closed on Fridays.
Agra Fort and beyond
Agra Fort, a red sandstone fortress, is where Shah Jahan spent his last years imprisoned, gazing at the Taj. Mehtab Bagh, a garden across the river, offers a quiet view at sunset. Fatehpur Sikri, an abandoned Mughal city, is 40 kilometers away.
