2. Agra Fort is a historical fort in the city of Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was built by the Mughal emperor Akbar in the 16th century and served as both a military base and a royal residence for the Mughal rulers until 163812. The fort is made of red sandstone and has a circumference of about 1.5 miles (2.5 km), a height of 70 feet (21 metres), and a moat31. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is connected to the Taj Mahal by a swath of parkland and gardens31.

3. I think you meant Itmad-ud-Daula tomb history. Here is a brief summary of what I found: Itmad-ud-Daula tomb is a Mughal mausoleum in Agra, India, built by Nur Jahan, the wife of Jahangir, for her father Mirza Ghiyas Beg, who was also known as Itmad-ud-Daula (pillar of the state)12. He was a Persian noble who rose to the position of chief minister in Akbar’s court23. He was also the grandfather of Mumtaz Mahal, the wife of Shah Jahan and the inspiration for the Taj Mahal12. The tomb is often called the Baby Taj or the Jewel Box because of its resemblance to a smaller version of the Taj Mahal and its exquisite decoration with semi-precious stones124. It is considered the first Mughal structure made entirely of white marble and one of the finest examples of pietra dura inlay work23. It is also regarded as a transition between the red sandstone architecture of Akbar and the white marble architecture of Shah Jahan12.

About Agra

Agra, sur la rivière Yamuna dans le nord de l'Inde, abrite le Taj Mahal, le monumental fort d'Agra et la cité fantôme moghole de Fatehpur Sikri.

Le Taj Mahal, construit par l'empereur moghol Shah Jahan comme mausolée pour son épouse Mumtaz Mahal, est l'un des édifices les plus admirés au monde, son marbre blanc changeant de couleur de l'aube au crépuscule. Ses jardins, ses bassins réfléchissants et ses incrustations de pierre sont les plus beaux tôt le matin, et les jardins de Mehtab Bagh, de l'autre côté de la rivière, offrent une vue paisible au coucher du soleil.
