Only the southern part of the fort is accessible to the public but the majestic entrance through the Amar Singh Gate is a must see. The Delhi Gate leads you to the inner portal known as the Hathi Pol or Elephant Gate. It was, originally, supposed to be the main entrance of the fort.
The fort reiterates the passion of Mughals for fine architecture which reached its peak during the reign of Shah Jahan. Some of the must see attractions of the Agra fort are given below:
The Khas Mahal : It was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1637. This palace presents a blend of Islamic and Persian architecture and aura. Its characteristic beauty lies in the distinct paintings on white marble.

The tower overlooks the river Yamuna and presents the most splendid views of the Taj Mahal.
