Near the Taj Mahal Gardens stands the Red Fort of Agra, an important 16th-century Mughal monument. This majestic red sandstone fortress has 2.5 km of walls and houses the imperial city of the Mughal rulers. It includes many fairy-tale palaces, such as the Jahangir Palace and the Khas Palace built by Shah Jahan; audience halls, such as the Diwan-i-Khas; and two very beautiful mosques.
