Agra Tourism

Fatehpur Sikri

Unfortunately I've not visited Fatehpur Sikri, a ghost city 37 km from Agra, simply because I didn't know it existed.

I would encourage any future visitor of Agra to pay it a visit. The site is founded by Akbar the great, who at 26 years did not have a heir.

He went to a saint, Shaikh Salim Chishti who lived in a city called Sikri. His blessing gave Akbar 3 sons. As a gesture, Akbar built a whole new city in Sikri.

It was built between 1569 and 1585 and was intended to be the joint capital with Agra, but was soon deserted because the water system could not support the any residents.

It remained untouched for over 400 years now and its palaces are a remainder of the extravagance of the Mughals.
