Agra Fort
Agra Fort is located on a hill beside the Yamuna River, about a 15-minute drive from the Taj Mahal. It is entirely built of red sandstone, so it is also called the Red Fort, which is as famous as the Red Fort in the capital Delhi. This castle with an area of 1.5 square kilometers is very majestic in appearance. Although many of the palaces in the city have fallen into disrepair over the years, the exquisite carvings and designs on the beams and walls still vaguely retain their former grandeur.
