AGRA
With the Taj Mahal in the distance. 
Photos from Fatehpur Sikri (City of Victory)
"Built during the second half of the 16th century by the Emperor Akbar, Fatehpur Sikri was the capital of the Mughal Empire for only some 10 years. The complex of monuments and temples, all in a uniform architectural style, includes one of the largest mosques in India, the Jama Masjid. It remained untouched for over 400 years now and its palaces are a remainder of the extravagance of the Mughals."
