Taj Mahal: One cannot but marvel at this 17th century mausoleum, resting on the banks of the River Yamuna. It stands as a reminder of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan's intense love for his beauteous wife Mumtaz Mahal.
The Taj Mahal is best captured at dusk and dawn. The full effect of the sunlight and the moonlight on this architectural grandeur has to be seen to be believed.
Agra Fort: The Agra Fort, which was built by Akbar in 1565 A.D., is another masterpiece. Its imposing red sandstone ramparts form a crescent along the river front.
Fatehpur Sikri: Emperor Akbar built this imperial city between 1571 and 1584. It currently features in the list of UNESCO world heritage sites.
The Jama Masjid, built in 1571, is the most sacred building in Fatehpur Sikri and has, therefore, been built on the highest point.
The Itimad-ud-Daulah, on the bank of river Yamuna, was built in 1622 A.D. by Empress Nur Jahan, Emperor Jahangir's favourite wife, in memory of her father.
