Fatehpur Sikri

Posted by Picasa On our way to Delhi, Jenny and I visited Fatehpur Sikri (40 km west of Agra). It was built by Emperor Akbar in an area of water shortages, so it didn't last long as the capitol of the Mughal empire (1571-1585), but it's still very well preserved. The white building is a still used mosque. A teen age student at the mosque showed us around.
