The Red Fort of Agra, also known as the Agra Fort, is a historic fortification located in the city of Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India.
The Red Fort of Agra was built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar in the 16th century. Construction began in 1565 and was completed in 1573. Over time, it was expanded and modified by later Mughal emperors, including Shah Jahan, who added several new structures to the fort.
The Red Fort of Agra was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983, alongside the Taj Mahal, due to its outstanding Mughal architecture and historical importance.
The Red Fort was not only a military stronghold but also a center of administration, culture, and governance during the Mughal era.
