Agra Fort

It was the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty until 1638, when the capital was shifted from Agra to Delhi.

 

Before capture by the British, the last Indian rulers to have occupied it were the Marathas.

 

In 1983, the Agra fort was life inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

 

It is about 2.5 km northwest of its more famous sister monument, the Taj Mahal.

 

The fort can be more accurately described as a walled city.
