The Taj Mahal and Agra Fort are two of India’s most iconic historical landmarks, both located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh. The Taj Mahal, built by Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century, is a symbol of eternal love. It was constructed in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died during childbirth. This magnificent white marble mausoleum is renowned for its stunning architecture, featuring intricate carvings, inlaid gemstones, and a central dome that reaches a height of 35 meters. The Taj is set in a lush, symmetrical garden, with a reflecting pool that mirrors its beauty. It is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Agra Fort, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a historic fortification that served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors until the capital was moved to Delhi. Built primarily by Emperor Akbar in the 16th century, it is an impressive blend of Islamic, Persian, Ottoman, and Indian architecture. The fort's massive red sandstone walls surround a series of beautiful palaces, mosques, and courtyards. Notable structures within the fort include the Jahangir Palace, the Khas Mahal, and the Diwan-i-Khas. The fort offers spectacular views of the Taj Mahal from certain vantage points. Together, the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort showcase the grandeur and cultural richness of Mughal architecture, making them must-visit landmarks in India
