The Taj has aptly been called a 'Dream in Marble'. Perhaps there are buildings more grand in conception and more elaborate in execution than the Taj, nevertheless, it remains and exquisite piece of lyrical beauty unequalled by any other building in the world.
The Taj Mahal was built by Emperor Shah Jahan to enshrine the mortal remains of his beloved wife, Arjumand Banu Begum, better known as Mumtaz Mahal, the 'Elect of the Palace'. It is said that over thirty one million rupees were spent on it and it took 20,000 men to build it in twenty two years. This incomparable masterpiece, in white marble. was begun in 1631, a year after the Queen's death, rising from a terrace overlooking the yamuna.
The main gateway to the Taj is a three-storyed structure, inlaid with ornaments and inscriptions from the Quran in black slate. The letters are graduated in size to look uniform from below. Taj Garden is laid out in formal style. A water channel and bronze fountains divide the paved

Agra Fort is a historical fort in the city of Agra in India.
To the South of the Agra Fort Station lies the Fort of Agra, on the right bank of yamuna, two kilometers from the Taj. Many magnificent buildings are situated within the fort, which has a circuit of over amile. The wall itself is a work of fine architecture and embodies such feautres as battlements, embrasures and machicolations skilfully designed to give this massive enclosure and aesthetic character. The Fort, as it stands today, represents the combined efforts of three successive sovereigns. Designed and built by Akbar, it was added to by Jahangir and Shah Jahan. It is in the fort that the division between the two architectural phases of Mughal style is plainly demarcated. Akbar's earlier structure were demolished some sixty-five years later to make way for the more sumptuous marble pavilions of his grandson Shah Jahan. You can visit in Fort JAHANGIR MAHAL, KHAS MAHAL, SHEESH MAHAL, DIWAN-I-KHAS, DIWAN-I-AAM
