March 23, 2017
When the Mughal capital was shifted from Agra to Red Fort, New Delhi. Mughal made the first fort in Agra, Called Agra Fort. It was nearer the sister monument, The Taj Mahal. (You can see the Taj Mahal in the picture. It is very well visible from the Agra Fort.) It is also known and described as the walled city.
It is spread in 94-acre land and built very beautifully. Realizing the importance of its central situation, Akbar made it his capital and arrived in Agra in 1558 and rebuilt the city.
The site is very important in terms of architectural history. Abul Fazal recorded that five hundred buildings in the beautiful designs of Bengal and Gujarat were built in the fort. Some of them were demolished by Shahjahan to make way for his white marble palaces. Most of the others were destroyed by the British between 1803 and 1862 for raising barracks.
Agra Fort is the centre of tourist attraction bcoz of its great interior and exterior, It is made of red stone, white marble, and other valuable material. Every year there is an end number of foreign visitors visit this great fort. The government maintains all the great monument at its best efforts.
