Morning drive to from Agra to Jaipur (240 km), en route visit Fatehpur Sikri
37 kms from Agra you stop at deserted a city predominantly in Red Sandstone. This ghost city is called Fatehpur Sikri. This town was built by the Mughal Emperor, Akbar during 1571 and 1585. He had planned this city as his capital but shortage of water compelled him to abandon the city. After this within 20 years, the capital of Mughals was shifted to Lahore.
This deserted city has retained many of the old structures, because of the efforts of the Archaeological department. Fatehpur Sikri is one of the finest examples of Mughal splendour at its height and manifests culmination of Hindu and Muslim architecture. Fatehpur Sikri Mosque is said to be a copy of the mosque in Mecca and has designs, derived from the Persian & Hindu architecture.
