Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a magnificent 16th-century fortress located in Agra, India. Built primarily with red sandstone by Emperor Akbar in 1565, it served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors until the capital shifted to Delhi. The fort showcases a blend of Islamic, Persian, and Hindu architectural styles, featuring grand structures like the Jahangir Mahal, Diwan-i-Khas, and the iconic Musamman Burj, where Emperor Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb.
