Agra fort is one of the many historical and famous forts in India.
UNESCO ranked Agra fort as a world Heritage Site in 1983. It is famous all over the world. It is known as red fort because it is built of kind of red sandstone. Within this fort there lies some of most super architecture of Mughal period; like the Moti Masjid, Dewane-Aam, Dewane-khas (public and private audience halls) and Jahangir's palace. Agra fort is about 2.5km Northwest of its most famous sister monument, Taj Mahal.
It is a masterpiece of Indo-Islamic architecture.
Now I am going to give some information about the history of Agra fort.
All those who ruled in india ruled from Agra Fort. First the Mahmud Ghazni took possession of this. After this sikandar lodi ruled this fort and repaired it. He died in
this fort. After death of Sikandar Lodi, his son ibrahim lodi succeeded him. The battle which took place in panipat took place between Ibrahim Lodi and Babar and Babar emerged victorious in it. After the death of Ibrahim Lodi Babar ruled the fort.
Babar ruled this fort for many years. After Babar's death his son Humayun ruled this fort. Likewise , this trend continued. Some Afghans also ruled this fort for many years.
After some years Humayun's son Akbar declares it as his capital. At that time, the situation of Agra Fort was not so good. It was in poor condition then. Akbar thought of getting it rebuilt and got it done. 14 lakh and 44 thousand artisans were engaged to make it. Similarly, all the Mughals ruled here.
Akbar, Shah Jahan,and sikandar Lodi made history by repairing this fort again.
Here I am providing some glimpse of Agra-fort architecture.
The most beautiful world Heritage Site of India.
