Agra Fort 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.

Built of striking red sandstone, the military stronghold was designed by Akbar, one of the most powerful rulers of the Mughal Empire. Twenty feet high ramparts wrap around the complex, running over 1.5 miles. Akbar’s grandson Shah Jahan added palaces, mosques, and other white marble structures to the complex, giving it a softer touch.
