Rambagh, is another place to see in Agra that was laid out by
the first Mughal Emperor, Babar. It stands three kilometers upstream
from Itmad-ud-Daulah's tomb. It is one of the earliest Mughal
gardens in the country. The Jama Masjid, built in memory of Sheikh
Salim Chisthi and his grandson Islam Khan by Jehan Aara Begum, is a
wonderful assimilation of Iranian architecture. Akbar's tomb at
Sikandra, located in a large walled garden on the road to Delhi, is
a magnificent gateway covered with floral and geometrical arabesque
decoration in white and coloured marble with four elegant minarets.
It is one of the places to see on your travel to Agra.
