It was built according to the canons of the Shilpa Shastra, the ancient Hindu treatise on architecture. Divided into seven rectangular sectors, with well-designed, right-angled streets, its planning is a marvel of 18th century urban planning, when not even in Europe did a similar systematization exist. Surrounded by steep hills on three of its cardinal points, the city is guarded by a powerful fortified wall, with seven gates.

Reconstructed in the 10th century, the incredible Chand Baori stepwell was a practical solution to the water problem in this area of ??India, where the arid climate forced local inhabitants to dig deep in search of underground currents. According to legend, the building was built by ghosts in a single night.

FATEHPUR SIKRI: Just over 40 km from Agra is the dead city of Fatehpur Sikri, built by Emperor Akbar in 1569 and abandoned due to his inability to provide it with a water supply.
