Monuments and Historical Sites

Agra's architectural landscape is defined by the legacy of the Mughal Empire, featuring three UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Beyond these landmarks, the list includes the intricate inlays of the Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah, the sprawling complex of Fatehpur Sikri with its monumental Buland Darwaza, and various 16th and 17th-century mausoleums that showcase the evolution of Indo-Islamic design and royal funerary traditions.
