Agra is an ancient city on the Yamuna River in India, within the state of Uttar Pradesh. It achieved prominence as the capital of the Mughal sovereigns from 1526 to 1658 and remains a major tourist destination, because of its many splendid Mughal-era buildings, most notably the Taj Mahal. Agra's Taj Mahal is one of the most famous buildings in the world. It is the mausoleum of Shah Jahan's favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
The city was fortified by Badal Singh ca 1475, whose Fort, Badalgarh stood near the site of the present Red Fort. Agra was a capital of the Lodi kingdom, defeated by the first Mughal Emperor, Babar. The Mughals also began to use it as a capital.
Agra's importance grew during the reigns of Akbar, Jehangir and Shah Jahan, and became a major center of art, culture, commerce and learning. These emperors undertook major building projects.
Attractions in Agra include:
Red Fort
Agra's dominant structure, the Agra Fort was rebuilt by Akbar in 1565. The red sandstone fort was converted into a palace during Shah Jahan's time. Notable buildings in the fort include the Pearl Mosque, the Diwan-e-Am and Diwan-e-Khas (halls of public and private audience), Jehangir's Palace, Khaas Mahal, Sheesh Mahal (mirrored palace), and Musamman Burj.
Itmad-Ud-Daulah's Tomb
Empress Nur Jehan built Itmad-Ud-Daulah's Tomb, sometimes called the Baby Taj, for her father, Ghias-ud-Din Beg, the Chief Minister of Emperor Jahangir. Small in comparison to many other Mughal-era tombs, it is sometimes described as a jewel box. Its garden layout and use of white marble, pietra dura, inlay designs and latticework presage many elements of the Taj Mahal.
Jama Masjid
A large mosque attributed to Princess Jahanara Begum, built in 1648 during the reign of the father Shah Jahan. Notable for its unusual dome and absence of minarets
Chini Ka Rauza
A memorial dedicated to the Prime Minister of Shah Jahan, Allama Afzel Khal Mullah Shukrullah of Shiraz, notable for its dome of blue glazed tiles.
Ram Bagh
The first Mughal gardens, built by the first Mughal Emperor Babar, 500 m North of the Chini Ka Rauza.

Set among six acres of beautiful gardens, the Trident Hilton Agra is within two kilometers of the famed Taj Mahal in Agra, India. Located three hours south of New Delphi by car, the World Heritage Taj Mahal was constructed by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his second wife Mumtaz Mahal, and has become the de facto tourist emblem of India. Agra's other major attraction is the massive red sandstone Agra Fort on the bank of the Yamuna River. The Fort features stunning walls, a maze of superb halls, mosques, chambers and gardens that form a small city within a city. The Trident Hilton Agra is five kilometers from the Fort.
