is of pure white marble and is an architectural marvel.
Agra has a rich historical background, which is amply evident from the numerous
historical monuments in and around the city. Though the heritage of Agra city
is linked with the Mughal dynasty, numerous other rulers also contributed to
the rich past of this city. Agra was founded by Sikandar Lodhi (Lodhi dynasty;
Delhi Sultanate) in the 16th century.
Babur (founder of the Mughal dynasty) also stayed for sometime in Agra and introduced
the concept of square Persian-styled gardens here. Emperor Akbar built the Agra
fort, Jahangir beautified it with palaces and gardens. Shahjahan marked the
zenith of Mughal architecture, when he built the Taj.
