Taj is just the appetiser in the architectural smorgasbord that Agra

Approachable by two imposing portals to its west and south, the citadel was built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar between the years 1565 and 1573
Encircled by a moat, the red sandstone monument was the residence of
three emperors – Akbar, Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb, each of whom
made significant structural contributions to the complex.see more
