Akbar's Perfect Ghost Capital Fatehpur Sikri is a fortified Mughal city about 40 km west of Agra, India, built by Emperor Akbar between 1571 and 1585 as his imperial capital, then largely abandoned within about 15 years. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it preserves a complete Mughal court in red sandstone — the Buland Darwaza (one of the world's tallest gateways), the Jama Masjid, the tomb of Salim Chishti, and the palace complex.
