Fatehpur Sikri

  • history

Fatehpur Sikri is a city conquered by the Mughal emperor Akbar, and it served as his capital from 1571 to 1585. Akbar did much to redesign the city; it’s a beautiful, opulent place constructed mostly from red sandstone. It’s well worth the stop on the route from Jaipur to Agra.
