Along the road between Jaipur and Agra we stopped to visit Fatehpur Sikri. This palace/fort was built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1571. It was the Mughal capital for 14 years. The architecture is a blend of Hindu and Islamic styles. The signature style seems to be the elaborate stone carving, from walls to floors, ceilings, posts, and even rooftops.
