buildings including the Jama Masjid, Tomb of Salim Chisti, Panch Mahal and
other palaces nearby. Agra,The city finds mention in the epic Mahbhrata
where it was called Agrevaa, or 'the border of the forest'.[3] Legend ascribes
the founding of the city to Rj Badal Singh (around 1475), whose fort,
Badalgarh, stood on or near the site of the present Fort. However, the 11th
century Persian poet Mas'd Sa'd Salmn writes of a desperate assault on the
fortress of Agra, then held by the Shh King Jayapala, by Sultan Mahmud of
Ghazni.[4] Sultan Sikandar Lod was the first to move his capital from Delhi to
Agra in the year 1506; he died in 1517 and his son Ibrhm Lod remained in
power there for nine more years, finally being defeated at the Battle of
Panipat in 1526.[5] It achieved fame as the capital of the Mughal emperors
from 1526 to 1658 and remains a major tourist destination because of its

and Fatehpr Sikr, all three of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. On
