Agra Fort

If the Taj Mahal is a poem about love, then Agra Fort is a tragedy about power. Just two and a half kilometers from the white marble mausoleum rises a giant fortress of red sandstone — Agra Fort. This UNESCO World Heritage Site (since 1983) is not merely a military fortification but a veritable city within a city, where palaces, mosques, gardens, and throne rooms hide behind massive walls.
