A complete walled city that was built by the Mughal

About Taj Mahal promises to show you every part of this
exotic and ancient city and opens up doors to the unusually
attractive sandstone monuments that were constructed
over a period of 15 years.
As legend goes, Emperor Akbar did not have an heir
to succeed him and thus he embarked on a holy pilgrimage
to the mausoleum of the great Sufi saint Sheikh Salim
Chisti. Akbar was blessed with a son who was christened
Salim, after the saint, in gratitude.
And the Fatehpur Sikri was constructed as a tribute
to the great Sufi saint by Emperor Akbar. Fatehpur Sikri
was abandoned after the death of Emperor Akbar due to
lack of water in the region.
