Agra was a favoured city of the [[Mughal]] emperors who ruled northern India between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries, and who reached their peak of power and cultural achievement in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Agra has many buildings from this period, most famously the [[Taj Mahal]] (completed in 1653), mausoleum of the Empress Mumtaz Mahal and the Emperor [[Shah Jahan]]; and the Red Fort built by Shah Jahan's grandfather, the polymath emperor [[Akbar]] in the 1560s.
