Taj Mahal
The huge white marble monument built by Emperor Shah Jahan is in memory of his beloved queen Mumtaz Mahal. It stands on the bank of river Yamuna. 20,000 workers have laboured for 17 years to build the mausoleum in 1633. The most skilled architects, inlay craftsmen, calligraphers, stone-carvers and masons came from all across India and lands as distant as Persia and Turkey. The master mason was from Baghdad, an expert in building the double dome from Persia, and an inlay specialist from Delhi. The resulting work of architecture can be witnessed in its symmetry, balance and exquisite inlay work. The beauty of the structure changes with the time of the day. Open 6 am to 7.30 pm from Saturday to Thursday.

Chini Ka Rauza
Decorated with glazed tiles, it is an ideal example of influence of Persian architecture on Mughal style. It is dedicated to poet-scholar and later the Prime Minister of Shah Jahan, Allama Afzal Khal Mullah Shukrullah of Shiraz. Chini Ka Rauza is a creation by Afzal Khan, who was a high official in the court of Shah Jahan. Open sunrise to sunset.

Jama Masjid
Across the railway tracks from the Delhi Gate of Agra Fort, the Jama Masjid was built by Shah Jahan in 1648. An inscription over the main gate indicates that it was built in the name of Jahanara, Shah Jahan's daughter, who was eventually imprisoned with Shah Jahan by Aurangzeb.

Ram Bagh
The Mughal love for nature can be seen at Agra in the form of Ram Bagh, one of the earliest gardens, laid by the Mughal ruler Babur, in 1528 AD. It is said to have been the resting-place of his body before it was taken away for a final burial in Kabul. It is 2 to 3 km further north of the Chini Ka rauza on the riverside and is open from sunrise to sunset.

Mehtab Bagh
Situated on the left bank of River Yamuna opposite Taj Mahal, it is basically a garden to visit especially at Night. Central to the garden was an octagonal pool that held the reflection of the Taj Mahal on a clear moonlit night, thus originating the name.
