Fatehpur Sikri

I have visited the Taj Mahal at agra before this trip but i didn't knew that Fatehpur Sikri is as beautiful as Taj Mahal. I was really amazed to see all the architectures of Sikri.

Sikri an extension of the upper vidhyan ranges is situated on the bank of a large natural lake, which has now mostly dried up. 37 miles from Agra is built a city predominately in red sandstone and is called Fatehpur Sikri. this town was built by Mughal emperor, Akbar. Fatehpur Sikri was built during 1571 and 1585.
