Fatehpur Sikri, India

Fatehpur Sikri is a city and a municipal board in Agra district in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. The historical city was constructed by Mughal emperor Akbar beginning in 1570 and served as the empire's capital from 1571 until 1585, when it was abandoned for reasons that remain unclear.

The surviving palace and mosque are a tourist attraction and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
