Fatehpur Sikri, 16th-century Mughal imperial complex in Agra district, India
The fortress city contains buildings constructed from red sandstone, including palaces, courts, mosques, gardens, and a 54-meter-high entrance gate.
Emperor Akbar established this capital between 1571 and 1585, then relocated the administration to Lahore due to water shortages in the region.
The architectural design merges Persian and Indian elements through decorative patterns, geometric layouts, and structural features in the religious and administrative buildings.
The complex opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available in multiple languages to explore the various sections and structures.
The central pillar in the Diwan-i-Khas supports 36 brackets that extend to connect with corners, creating an intricate support system.
