On this Roman Catholic Cemetery Tour, you'll discover the history of Agra's oldest cemetery and why it is known as the Red Taj Mahal.
Description
At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Agra to begin our visit to the Roman Catholic Cemetery, which contains the remains of several Europeans who lived and died in Agra.
The tour will commence with a walk through the cemetery's narrow rows, where you will learn about its history since it was founded by Armenian Christians around 1600. You will observe the characteristics of Mongolian architecture in its mausoleums, alongside Christian architectural influences, creating a unique blend of styles.
We will share the most famous story of love and pain in the cemetery, associated with the most emblematic funerary construction, known as the Red Taj Mahal, a replica made of reddish sand that adds to its mystique.
After a 2-hour visit to the Roman Catholic Cemetery, we'll conclude the tour and return you to your hotel.
