About
Quick facts: This majestic fortress covers over 20 hectares and includes as many as 21 palaces, courtyards, and gardens. It attracts more than 3 million visitors annually, showcasing rich Mughal Empire architectural styles.
Highlights: The greatest highlight is the 150-meter-long Hall of Mirrors, which is covered with over 80,000 hand-embedded colored mirror tiles that sparkle brilliantly when sunlight hits them. The unique sandstone walls in a sandy yellow color feature hundreds of finely carved reliefs that tell stories of historical battles.
Insider tips
