Explore Fatehpur Sikri

Step back in time at Fatehpur Sikri, the UNESCO-listed city established by Mughal emperor Akbar in the second half of the 16th century. It served as the imperial capital for a relatively short period and remains a remarkable ensemble of Mughal architecture.

Explore Buland Darwaza, Jama Masjid, Panch Mahal, Jodha Bai Palace and other courts and palaces. The buildings bring together influences from several architectural traditions in a striking red sandstone setting.

Every courtyard tells a story of Akbar's court, its artists, scholars and cultural exchange. The city's monumental spaces make it a rewarding stop on a wider Agra journey.
