Summary of Agra Fort
Agra Fort , also known as the Red Fort of Agra, is a massive 16th-century fort made of red sandstone. It is located on the right bank of the Yamuna River in the historical city of Agra in Uttar Pradesh. Agra Fort was built by Mughal Emperor Akbar . The structure displays the architectural grandeur of the Mughal dynasty in India.
The fort complex was assigned a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. The area around Agra Fort is a goldmine for real estate developers and buyers. This is due to the ever-increasing tourism and the need for accommodation in the surrounding area. The area around the fort has a plethora of property options for buyers and renters to consider.
People who want to make Agra a second home due to work and other employment opportunities can look for houses and villas to rent and buy. Not only this, luxury apartments and villas are also available at regional rates.
A total of four gates were built on the four sides of the complex, one Khijri gate opened onto the river. On the western side of the fort, the monumental Delhi Gate faces the city and is considered the largest of the four gates, decorated with intricate marble inlay work. The Lahore Gate popularly known as Amar Singh Gate is on the south side (currently in use for tourists and general public). An inner gateway called Hathi Pol or Hathi Gate, guarded by two life-size stone elephants by their riders – added another layer of security.
History of Agra Fort
Different dynasties have owned the Agra Fort during different historical eras. The fort was built during the period of Akbar and its architectural style was derived from him. This historical monument assumed its present status during the reign of Akbar's grandson, Shah Jahan. During the last few years of his life, Shah Jahan was imprisoned in this fort after being ousted by his son Aurangzeb. It is rumored that Shah Jahan died in Muthamman Burj, a tower inside the Agra Fort complex that has a marble balcony overlooking the Taj Mahal.
The fort was conquered and confiscated by the Maratha Empire in the early 18th century. However, they lost it to the British in 1803 during a war. Agra Fort was a battleground during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, which marked the end of the British East India Company's rule in India. This paved the way for direct control of India by Britain.
