Palace On Wheels
Agra Fort - This fort includes a place for a marble swing, a
garden once tented and used to grow wine grapes and a royal prison cell with a view of the Taj Mahal.
Construction of the fort was from 1156 to 1605. The many pillared
Hall of Public Audience or 'Diwan-i-Am' was built by Shah Jahan in 1628. The
emperor Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal, was imprisoned by his 3rd son
Aurangzeb in this fort where he had a view of the famous mausoleum he had
constructed for his favorite
queen. |
