Fatehpur Sikri — City of Victory — is a magnificent ghost city 37 kilometres from Agra, built entirely by the Emperor Akbar as his new capital in 1571 and abandoned after only 14 years due to water shortages, leaving an extraordinarily complete complex of palaces, audience halls, mosques, and servants' quarters perfectly preserved in red sandstone.
