Agra Fort is considered to be the first grand fort of the Mughals. It was designed primarily as a military installation, with a colossal 70-foot high wall that stretched for more than 2 kilometers (1.25 miles) around 94 acres of land. Emperor Shah Jahan, Akbar's grandson, added fancy white marble palaces and mosques to the fort during his reign from 1628 to 1658. (A big fan of white marble, he also used it for the Taj Mahal). Shah Jahan's son, Aurangzeb, further expanded the fort by making an outer wall with a deep moat. The fort reportedly even has a secret tunnel for the royal family to escape through, although it has been sealed by the Indian government.

The tomb itself is one of the best examples of architecture in the region. Said to be one of the most important influences behind the architecture of the Taj Mahal, the Tomb of Itimad Ud Daulah is one of the finest examples of a specific genre of mausoleum architecture called a Tomb in a Garden.
