Agra Fort is a massive red sandstone fortress built by Emperor Akbar in 1565, later enhanced by Shah Jahan. Within its 2.5 km walls, visitors explore the Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience), the Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), and the exquisite white marble Khas Mahal palace. The Musamman Burj tower offers a poignant view of the Taj Mahal, where Shah Jahan was imprisoned. The fort's museums display Mughal artifacts and weaponry.
