For most of the time Agra alternated with Delhi as the capital of
the Mughal Empire. As such one finds many marvels of the Mughal
architecture in and around the city, the most famous of them being
the Taj Mahal. Besides the Taj, the Agra Fort (also called the Red
Fort) makes an interesting sight. Other major attractions include
the tomb of Mirza Ghiyas Beg, Jama Masjid, Akbar’s tomb at
Sikandra. Fatehpur Sikri presents another marvel of the Mughal architecture
and splendor.
