Agra Sightseeing is famous for its two world famous attractions-the haunting beauty of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort.

Agra Fort: Agra Fort is primarily a military defensive structure. Agra Fort was constructed in its present form by the Mughal emperor Akbar and then remodeled by his generational successor Shah Jahan. The facade of Agra Fort is of red sandstone.

The other tourist attractions of Agra are:

Four red sandstone gates lead to Akbar's Tomb complex; each gate stands for India's three principal religions, Hindu, Muslim and Christianity.
