If you are in Agra, the other site besides the Taj Mahal which should not be miss is the Agra Fort. Agra Fort, also a World Heritage site, was the seat of the Mughal empire. This is where, Emperor Shah Jahan who was responsible for the Taj Mahal, was imprisoned by his son. Although imprisoned in the Red Fort, it offered a perfect view of the Taj Mahal as the fort is located about 2.3km northwest from the mausoleum.
