Akbar's Church, Roman Catholic church in Agra, India.
The church building features red brick walls, pointed arches, and a central dome, located on Wazirpura Road in central Agra.
The church underwent multiple reconstructions, including a complete rebuilding in 1772 after Afghan invaders destroyed the original structure during their conquest.
The church stands as evidence of Portuguese missionary influence in northern India, representing early Catholic presence during the Mughal Empire period.
Visitors can attend regular services at the church, with guided tours available from Monday through Saturday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
Three royal princes, nephews of Emperor Jahangir, received baptism in this church from Father Jerome Xavier in 1610.
