LOVE IN AGRA CITY
Who built Agra?
Agra was not built by a single person, but it has a long and rich history. The city was founded by the Mughal Emperor Sikandar Lodi in 1504 and later served as the capital of the Mughal Empire during the reigns of Emperor Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan. During this period, the city saw a significant amount of construction and development, including the construction of the Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort, which are some of the most famous landmarks in the city. Agra was also an important center of art, culture, and commerce during the Mughal period. After the decline of the Mughal Empire, Agra came under the control of various other rulers, including the British. Today, Agra remains an important cultural and tourist destination in India, attracting millions of visitors every year.
