Visit Fatehpur Sikri, built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar for the purpose of making it the capital of the reign. The city, however, had to be later deserted due to lack of water. It is located 39 km away from Agra and has been declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The buildings here are characterized by a unique blend of Hindu and Islamic architectural styles. Planned on Persian principles, Akbar tried to revive the magnificent Persian courts through the architecture in the city.

It has been built around the Jama Masjid, while other tourist attractions include, Buland Darwaza, Panch Mahal, Sheikh Salim Chishti tomb and Birbal Bhavan.
