The fort of Itimad Ud Daula in Agra is popularly known as the jewel box on the banks of Yamuna River, and was built by the Mughal Empress Nur Jahan, who was the daughter of the Emperor Itimad Ud Daula, and wife of Emperor Jahangir. Nur Jahan built the Itimad Ud Daula Fort between the years 1622 to 1628 to honour her father.
