Fatehpur Sikri, the last of the three chief attractions in
Agra, is located 35 km away from Agra. It was here that the first Mughal Emperor Babur defeated Rana Sanga, the great Rajput warrior. The best part of Fatehpur Sikri is the imposing Buland Darwaza. Built by Akbar to celebrate his victory over Gujarat, Buland Darwaza is not only the highest gateway in the world but shows the Mughal architecture at its best and also the most robust.
The Gate of Magnificence, Buland Darwaza, is a massive 175-feet tall structure, and is as impressive and virile as the greatest emperor of Hindustan who built it. No wonder, it is regarded one of the most famous monuments of India and arguably the finest structure built by Akbar.
