Agra was once the capital of India. Now only with a population of a little over two million people, the city is small compared to the over much more populated cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta, and Bangalore to name a few.
Agra Fort is similar to the Red Fort in Delhi, both of which were built for the same purposes and out of the same red sandstone materiel. These forts were where the Mughal emperors of the time would live, govern, and house their armies. There is still a large percentage of Agra Fort that the Indian Army utilizes.
