Fatehpur Sikri (1 Jan 1569 Jahr – 1 Jan 1585 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

A city planned and constructed by Akbar that served as his capital. It commemorated his conquest of the prosperous commercial province of Gujarat in a campaign that enabled Akbar to head off both Portuguese attacks and Ottoman intervention there. The new city demonstrated Akbar's strength and imperial ambitions and was also a private residence and retreat for the ruler, reproducing in stone a royal encampment with exquisite pleasure palaces where Akbar indulged his passions for music and conversation with scholars and poets
