About Agra

Agra am Fluss Yamuna in Nordindien beherbergt das Taj Mahal, das monumentale Agra Fort und die Mogul-Geisterstadt Fatehpur Sikri.

Das Taj Mahal, vom Mogulkaiser Shah Jahan als Mausoleum für seine Frau Mumtaz Mahal erbaut, ist eines der meistbewunderten Bauwerke überhaupt, sein weißer Marmor wechselt von der Morgendämmerung bis zum Abend die Farbe. Seine Gärten, Wasserbecken und Einlegearbeiten sind früh am Morgen am schönsten, und die Mehtab-Bagh-Gärten am anderen Flussufer bieten einen ruhigen Blick bei Sonnenuntergang.

Top-ranked sights in Agra: Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Tomb of I'timad-ud-Daulah.
