Home to the iconic marble beauty - The Taj Mahal, there is much more to Agra. It is dotted with some of the most significant monuments of the country which are sure to leave you enamored. The magnificent walls of these monuments have many tales to tell - of war, love, trust, agony. Whether it is the Agra Fort where Aurangzeb imprisoned his father Shah Jahan, the Fatehpur Sikri which saw the epic battle between Babar and Rana Sanga, Akbar’s Tomb and Buland Darwaza or the Jama Masjid which has exquisite inscriptions from the Holy Quran accompanied by inlaid geometric designs - each of the monuments in Agra are sure to leave you entranced with their beauty, and more so for a lover of history and architecture.
