Diwan-i-Aam - This is the hall of public audience, which was designed for large public gatherings.

Buland Darwaza - Raised in 1602 AD to celebrated Akbar's victory over the Deccan, the Buland Darwaza is a massive and grandest gateway in India, and is amongst the biggest in the world. This gate can be accessed from outside by a 13-metre flight of steps, which gives a unique experience.

Turkish Sultana's House - The Turkish Sultana's house, located at the corner of Anup Talao, was a pavilion for relaxation. The geometrical pattern carved on the ceiling of this structure is similar to the Central Asian woodcarvings.

Palace of Jodha Bai - The Palace of Jodha Bai is located to the left of the Sunehra Makan. This palace is the largest and the most significant building in the royal palace, named after Jodha bai, Akbar's Rajput wife.
