i’m not gonna lie. i knew there was a fort in Agra only because it was mentioned on my tour itinerary — i pretty much only knew Agra for the Taj Mahal. <\/p>\n
we did the fort<\/a> first, and man, it blew me away, especially compared to Delhi’s Red Fort<\/a>. as a central part of the Mughal Empire, it is also related to Emperor Humayun of Humayun’s Tomb<\/a> fame — pretty cool IMHO.<\/p>\n but back to Agra Fort — it seemed like the buildings were in a much better condition, and they were grander in scope and design and thus much more impressive. i was constantly “wow”-ing because i had been conditioned for a let-down after my experience with the Red Fort — but much of the architectural detailing and decorations are still visible and inspiring to this day.<\/p>\n\n
