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