This UNESCO World Heritage site stands as a pivotal example of Mughal architecture, characterized by its symmetrical charbagh gardens, intricate water channels, and the majestic mausoleum topped with a double dome.

Admire the intricate details of Mughal architecture, a blend of Persian, Timurid, and Hindu influences. The fort’s red sandstone walls and strategic design are a visual spectacle, and the evening Son-et-lumiere show brings its history to life.
