Musamman Burj

The Red Fort of Agra, is one of the loveliest monuments in India, 2nd only to the Taj Mahal, which can be seen from the same building and only separates the river Yamuna. The fort was construted between the years 1565 and 1573 by Akbar, who made this his citadel and later it was occupied by his successors, his son Jahangir and Shah Jahan (the latter was ordered the Tah Mahal for his wife) They constructed palaces inside. One of the buildings of the fort, and that is the most romantic story is the Mussam Burj, an octagonal tower with a copper dome that opens its windows or holes from the wall to the Yamuna river, from where there are lovely views of the Tah Mahal, which is right on the shore, but it seems that is directly opposite.
