Being the capital of the Mughal Empire in the 16th and 17th century , Agra lost its political significance with the transfer of the capital to Delhi in 1634 A.D. But its architectural wealth  and superb inlay work on marble and soapstone has secured its position on the International Map.

 The city reached its zenith under the successive reigns of Akbar , Shah Jahan and Jehangir , Akbar's  reign being the most remarkable in the city's history when it visibly became a leading centre of art , science, commerce and culture. Henceforth, it continued to draw intellectuals and artists to contribute towards popularising its rich cultural potential .

Situated in the heart of Uttar Pradesh , Agra is very well accessible from all parts of the country. It has an airport which is well connected by air to all major cities through flight services . Then we have the railway junction with main  broad gauge routes connecting it to the Southern ,Eastern and

Western parts of India .Not only this , it is even well connected with road to all major cities of State, Delhi, Haryana and Gwalior .

 The Mughals besides being great rulers were also great builders and  preserved their best architectural wonders for Agra and its neighbourhood . Its line up of monuments today stand testimony to the splendour of a bygone era and the visionary far sightedness of the many monarchs who once ruled different parts of the state. The forts , palaces and aesthetically laid out gardens - each one being a silent witness to a grand style of a golden era highlight  their architectural genius explicitly.
