The city of the Taj Mahal

by Robert_Hun - last update: Jun 18, 2005

Said to be one of the seven wonders of the world, it was built between 1631 and 1653 by Shah Jahan, the emperor of Agra in memory of his wife Mumtaz who had died in childbirth.
It's a symbol of eternal love.
Red Fort
The other famous sight why loads of tourists come to Agra is the Red Fort which was originally built by Emperor Akbar in the 17th century. Its double walls rise over 20m in height and have an outline of 2.5km. It houses halls, mosques, chambers and gardens which form a small city within a city.
Agra street
Agra was once the capital of the Mughal Empire. It's located on the west bank of the river Yamuna, 200 km south of Delhi in the state of Uttar Pradesh. It's 2 hours by the super fast Shatabdi Express and cca. 5 hours by car from Delhi.
