In the 16th century, when the tales of Mughal emperors were unfolding, the visionary Emperor Akbar commissioned modifications to the Agra Fort.

The architectural ensemble within the fort includes notable structures such as the Jahangir Mahal, a palace built for Akbar"s son, Jahangir, the Khas Mahal, a private palace for the emperor, and the Diwan-i-Am or Hall of Public Audience.
