Denkmäler und Mausoleen in Agra

Monuments & Mausoleums of Agra

Agra’s landscape is defined by the Mughal Empire's architectural legacy. This collection features UNESCO World Heritage sites like the white marble Taj Mahal and the red sandstone Agra Fort. It highlights the evolution of tomb architecture, from the Persian-style glazed tiles of Chini Ka Rauza to the delicate marble inlay of the Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah. The list also includes Mehtab Bagh, a riverside garden providing symmetrical views of the Taj Mahal, and the 17th-century Jama Masjid, one of India's largest mosques.
