It is most famous for the Taj Mahal, located in Agra - the tourist capital of the region.

The best known site in all of Uttar Pradesh is the Taj Mahal in Agra. Built between 1631 and 1648 by order of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, the landmark is a massive mausoleum crafted from white marble. While it is one of the most recognizable monuments in the world, seeing the place in person is a whole different experience. The grounds of the complex include several other beautiful buildings, reflecting pools, extensive ornamental gardens with flowering trees and bushes, and a small gift shop. Other well-known sights in Agra include the Agra Fort (a palace and defensive structure built out of red sandstone) and Fatehpur Sikri (which has one of the largest mosques in India and well-preserved courtyards and palaces). All three are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
