🏰 Agra Fort – Where History Comes Alive in Red Sandstone ❤️

Just 2.5 km from the Taj Mahal, the Agra Fort is a majestic Mughal fortress that takes you deep into India’s royal past. Built mainly by Emperor Akbar in 1565, it served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors for generations. With its massive red sandstone walls, intricate carvings, royal halls, and scenic views of the Yamuna River, it’s more than just a fort – it’s a living museum. Walk through the Diwan-i-Aam (Hall of Public Audience), the elegant Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), and the Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace), and you’ll feel the grandeur of Mughal royalty. 👑 Don’t miss the Musamman Burj, where Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb – the same spot from where he gazed at the Taj Mahal until his last breath. So poetic, so powerful. 🥀 --- ⏰ Timings 🗓️ Open daily: 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM --- 🎟️ Ticket Prices 🇮🇳 Indians: ₹50 🌍 Foreigners: ₹650 🌐 SAARC/BIMSTEC: ₹90 🧒 Children under 15: Free --- 🚗 How to Reach 📍 Located in central Agra, about 10 minutes from the Taj Mahal 🚆 Nearest station: Agra Fort Railway Station 🛺 Easily accessible by auto, cab, or local transport --- 🌟 Why Visit?
