Agra — Home of the Taj Mahal
The Mughal capital shaped by emperors from Sikandar Lodi (who founded the city in 1504) to Akbar and Shah Jahan, Agra is home to the Taj Mahal — the most sublime monument to love ever built, and the climax of the Palace on Wheels journey.
Agra is known for its trio of UNESCO World Heritage sites — the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and nearby Fatehpur Sikri — and as the high point of Mughal art and architecture.
