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, where several Europeans who fell in love with the city are interred.
The tour begins with a walk through the cemetery's narrow rows, exploring its history since its founding by Armenian Christians around 1600. You'll observe the Mongolian architectural characteristics in its mausoleums, as well as Christian influences, demonstrating a unique blend of styles.
A highlight of the tour is the famous story of love and pain associated with the cemetery's most emblematic structure, the Red Taj Mahal. This structure is a replica made of reddish sand, which contributes to its mystique.
After a 2-hour visit to the Roman Catholic Cemetery, we'll return to your hotel to conclude the tour.
