A trip to the gods' country 2
We visited Agra fort. It is a UNESCO World Heritage and the most important fort in India. The great Mugals, Humayun, Akbar, Jehangir, Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb lived here, and the country was governed from here. It was originally a brick fort, held by the Sikarwar (the founders of the city of Vijaypur Sikri). It was mentioned for the first time in 1080 AD.
