The most important fort built during the Mughal era is Agra Fort constructed by Akbar<br />
between 1565 <strong>and</strong> 1573. Akbar erected the walls, gates <strong>and</strong> the first buildings within the<br />
walls. Shahjahan built the imperial quarters <strong>and</strong> the mosque. A century later, Aurangzeb<br />
finished the outer walls of the fort.<br />

Within the fort, Moti Masjid is one large <strong>and</strong> two smaller mosques. The larger mosque, Moti<br />
Masjid made of marble, is the crown of Mughal architecture. It is a tragedy that it has been<br />
closed to the public in recent years.<br />
