Description
Discover the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Fatehpur Sikri on a guided tour from Agra. Explore the city's impressive array of monuments, palaces, mosques, and temples.
Visit Fatehpur Sikri, once the proud capital of the Mughal Empire, established by Emperor Akbar in the 1570s. This UNESCO World Heritage Site, known as the "City of Victory," showcases a magnificent blend of Islamic and Hindu architectural elements.
Constructed primarily from red sandstone, the city features an impressive array of monuments, palaces, mosques, and temples. Perched atop a rocky ridge and encircled by sturdy walls, Fatehpur Sikri reflects Akbar's vision of cultural and religious unity.
Though it thrived briefly as a political hub, the city was mysteriously abandoned by the early 17th century. Today, it remains a beautifully preserved testimony to Akbar's architectural legacy, with local communities living just beyond its ancient walls.
