Detailed Description

Fatehpur Sikri is a Moghul architectural ensemble that has been influential on the evolution of town planning. Between 1570 and 1586 Fatehpur Sikri was the capital of the Moghul-empire.

The Moghuls experienced their hey-day, and their leader Akbar wanted to construct a dream city where he and his large harem could live a glorious life. 

What is remaining now is a very well preserved ghost town, that gives insight in the architectural style from its period in history. The city has a mosque, several palaces, a caravanserai and broad streets and squares. The buildings are made of red sandstone. 

According to contemporary historians, Akbar took a great interest in the building of Fatehpur Sikri and probably also dictated its architectural style. Seeking to revive the splendours of Persian court ceremonial made famous by his ancestor Timur, Akbar planned the complex on Persian principles.
