Agra rose to prominence under the Mughals; the Taj Mahal (begun 1632) and Agra Fort (principal residence until 1638) are primary Mughal-era landmarks.
Both the Taj and Agra Fort are UNESCO-linked heritage sites with active conservation programs; visitors are asked not to touch marble, to dispose of waste responsibly, and to follow local guidelines to reduce wear and pollution.
