On this Roman Catholic Cemetery Tour, you'll discover the history of Agra's oldest cemetery and why it's called the Red Taj Mahal.
Description
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Agra to start our journey to the Roman Catholic Cemetery, which contains the remains of Europeans who lived and died in the city.
The tour will begin with a walk through the cemetery's narrow rows, exploring its history since it was founded by Armenian Christians around 1600. You'll observe the Mongolian architectural characteristics in the mausoleums, along with Christian influences, creating a unique blend of styles.
We will share the most famous story of love and pain in the cemetery, centered around the site of the Red Taj Mahal. This structure is a replica made of reddish sand, contributing to its distinctive character.
After a 2-hour visit to the Roman Catholic Cemetery, we will return to your hotel.
