                                                                         Agra Fort 


        What I suppose that was "The Agra Fort":



  • I suppose that this was were the indians fought against the British here in 1857 (I suppose this because in the book he give us three possible answers, and I thought that this was the correct answer)
What is really "The Agra Fort":


The Agra Fort is a monument, located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India.  This fort was the side of the battle during the Indian rebellion ok 1857, which was caused the end of  the British East India Company´s rule in India, and led to a century of direct rule of India be British. The Agra Fort is about of 2.5 km northwest of its more famous sister, the Taj Mahal

The legend of the Agra Fort:

It have a leyend that tell us that Shah Jahan build the beatiful Taj Mahal to his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Unlike his grandfather, Shan Jahan tended to have buildings made from white marble, and semi-precius gems. He destroyed some of the earlier buildings inside the fort in orden to make his own, the Taj Mahal.

At the end of his life, Shan Jahan was imprisoned in the fort, by his SON, Aurangzeb.
