An ancient fort on a rocky hill about 40 km west of Agra city in Uttar Pradesh, northern India, whose name means "City of Victory". It was built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1569-74 and served as his castle until 1585. Most of the stone used is red sandstone, and the structure is simple, but the details are decorated with intricate carvings. Within the fort are a palace, mosque, minaret, caravanserai, mausoleum, gate, tank (reservoir), and other structures, which are not arranged in a unified manner due to the terrain.
