On this Roman Catholic Cemetery Tour, you'll discover the history of Agra's oldest cemetery and its designation as the Red Taj Mahal.
Description
At the indicated time, we will pick you up from your hotel in Agra to begin our visit to the Roman Catholic Cemetery, where several Europeans who loved the city are interred.
The tour includes a walk through the cemetery's narrow rows, highlighting its history since its founding by Armenian Christians around 1600. You will observe the characteristics of Mongolian architecture in the mausoleums, alongside Christian influences, creating a unique blend of styles.
We will recount the most famous story of love and pain associated with the cemetery, specifically relating to the Red Taj Mahal. This structure is a replica of the original Taj Mahal, constructed from reddish sand that lends it a distinctive appearance.
After a 2-hour visit to the Roman Catholic Cemetery, we will return to your hotel.
