Agra Fort and Baby Taj

The history of the Taj Mahal is linked to the Agra Fort and "Baby Taj". No trip to the Taj Mahal would be complete without visiting these other two monuments. The Agra Fort was where the emperor's son imprisoned his father before he could spend all the money in the treasury on the infamous "black taj".
From the above tower in the Agra Fort, the emperor lived the last 7 years of his life. The tower was complete with a view of the Taj Mahal - the tomb the emperor had built as an expression of his love for his late wife, the queen.
