Fatehpur Sikri.

En se dissipant, les brumes d’un matin d’automne dévoilent peu à peu les tours, les minarets et les murailles de cette ville-fantôme.
Fatehpur Sikri fut, de 1571 à 1585, la capitale de l’empire Moghol. L’empereur Akbar en avait ordonné la construction. Ce chef-d’oeuvre de l’architecture Indo-Musulmane dut être abandonné peu après la mort de l’empereur car le site était insuffisamment irrigué.

By dissipating the mist of an autumn morning gradually reveal towers, minarets and walls of this ghost town.
Fatehpur Sikri was, from 1571 to 1585, the capital of the Mughal Empire. Emperor Akbar had ordered its construction. This masterpiece of Indo-Muslim architecture had to be abandoned shortly after the death of the emperor as the site was insufficiently irrigated.
