Fatehpur Sikri was the imperial city of the Mughal dynasty between 1571 and 1584. Built by the Mughal emperor Akbar, this royal city is one of a kind.

This deserted city has retained many of the old structures, because of the efforts of the Archaeological department .

The architectural grandeur of this deserted city cannot be described in words and one can only experience the aura of its magnificent edifices by seeing them.

Fatehpur Sikri is one of the finest examples of Mughal architectural splendour at its height. Though the city is in ruins, it is a place to visit if one comes to Agra.

The journey to the royal palace begins with Diwan-I-Am or the Hall Of Public Audience. Fatehpur Sikri is the best example of the 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.
