The city is known for its structural grandeur and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Fatehpur Sikri was built by Akbar to commemorate the birth of his son, Jahangir. The city was built employing a unique blend of Indian, Persian, and Islamic architectural styles and was planned to be an idealized city, with royal residences, open buildings, mosques, and gardens. The city was built on a rocky ridge, which made it easily defensible and had a complex water supply system.
