The captivating city of Fatehpur Sikri got constructed in 1571 by the Mughal
emperor Akbar in the honour of Salim Chisti, a resident saint of Sikri. The
place is located at about 26 miles west of Agra. It was inscribed as UNESCO
World Heritage site in 1986. King Akbar was illiterate himself he took a
keen interest in literature, architecture and arts. He supervised the making
of the Fatehpur Sikri and is said that he even quarried stone along with his
workmen. Climb out of an apartment and you would find a tree perfectly
framed in a window. The layout of the city shows a conscious attempt to
produce rich spatial effects by the organization of built forms around open
spaces in interesting ways. The architecture of Fatehpur Sikri is
outstanding and is definitely a crowning architectural legacy of Akbar.
