- AGRA - TAJ MAHAL (UNESCO) world heritage site.
A UNESCO World heritage site and an eternal symbol of love (it was built by a Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife Mumtaj). The white domed structure boasts delicately detailed interiors, tranquil gardens and a collection of other impressive buildings.
The Agra Fort is the sister monument of the Taj Mahal and also holds UNESCO heritage site status. The striking fort dates from the year 1000 but was later remodeled in the 1500's to be used as a palace. Thirteen k.m from the Agra Fort you will find Akbar’s Tomb, a stunning red-ocher sandstone tomb and another architectural masterpiece.
Now that we've seen the majestic city of Agra lets move on to our next destination.....
My next destination is described in a new post... Please check it out.
