Made of red sandstone with white marble inlays, it features a large prayer hall, domes, and elegant minarets. Located near Agra Fort, it remains an active mosque and a symbol of historical and spiritual significance.

Fatehpur Sikri, a UNESCO World Heritage Site near Agra, was built by Emperor Akbar in the 16th century. This red sandstone city served as the Mughal capital for a short time. It showcases a blend of Hindu and Islamic architecture and houses landmarks like Buland Darwaza, Jama Masjid, and the tomb of Salim Chishti. Fatehpur Sikri remains a symbol of Akbar’s architectural vision and secular rule.
