Fatehpur Sikri

The city of Fatehpur Sikri has been accredited with the status of a World Heritage City for its numerous architectural wonders that were constructed by Emperor Akbar. The city was originally designed to serve as a capital city for Akbar, but acute water shortage led to the abandonment of the city. Today a ghost town, the stunning architecture of Fatehpur Sikri has ensured that the city doesn't fade into oblivion even in the 21st century.
