Description
This tour of Fatehpur Sikri is very simple.Fatehpur Sikri is 45 km from Agra and takes you 1 hour to get there and it will take 2 to 3 hours to roam there and one hour to came back to Agra.
Built by Emperor Akbar in the 1570s, the Unesco-listed Fatehpur Sikri—which means “City of Victory”—was the capital of the Mughal Empire for about 10 years. Today, a well-preserved collection of monuments, palaces, temples, and mosques remains, in a uniform red sandstone architectural style.
Surrounded by walls, the ancient city sits atop a rocky ridge. Although Akbar was a Muslim ruler, Fatehpur Sikri’s architectural style reflects both Islamic and Hindu elements. Despite its grandeur, the city was abandoned by the early 17th century. People still live outside the old walls.
