The Red Fort

The Red Fort was constructed by the same Emperor who commissioned the Taj Mahal. It served as the residence for the royal family. It is surrounded by two moats, which were filled with crocodiles when it was used.

The center of the fort contains the family's home and garden

Some of the ornate carving in the ceiling

The walls and ceilings were painted but when the British came to power, the soldiers destroyed most of the art. Here you can see what is left of the gold trimmed ceiling.
