Specialist Overview
Fatehpur Sikri, India
Just 26 miles west of Agra lies Fatehpur Sikri, a hauntingly well-preserved Mughal capital that thrived briefly under Emperor Akbar in the 16th century before being mysteriously abandoned.
Step into Akbar’s Court
Though used for only two decades, the city’s grandeur still impresses. Highlights include the intricately designed Royal Palace and Audience Hall, offering a glimpse into the opulent court life of the Mughal empire.
A Tomb with a Prophecy
At the heart of the mosque courtyard stands the striking white marble tomb of Sheikh Salim Chishti. The Sufi saint foretold the birth of Akbar’s heir—prompting the emperor to build the city in gratitude once the prophecy came true.
