Tourist attractions Fatehpur Sikri

Fatehpur Sikri, located just outside Agra, India, is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its stunning Mughal architecture. Once the capital of the Mughal Empire under Emperor Akbar, this deserted city is a blend of grand palaces, mosques, and courtyards, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of the Mughal era. Key highlights include the Jama Masjid, the Buland Darwaza (the largest gateway in India), and the Diwan-i-Khas, where Akbar held his private meetings. The fascinating history of this once-thriving city, now abandoned, makes it a must-visit for history enthusiasts and those keen on exploring India’s royal past.
