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 houses the remains of several Europeans who lived and died in the city.
The tour begins with a walk through the cemetery's narrow rows, where you'll learn about its history since it was founded by Armenian Christians around 1600. The cemetery features Mongolian architectural characteristics in its mausoleums, along with Christian influences in many details, creating a unique blend of styles.
We will share the most famous story of love and pain in the cemetery, which is central to the most emblematic funerary construction of this place, the Red Taj Mahal. This is a replica of the original, made of reddish sand, which adds to its mystique.
After a 2-hour visit to the Roman Catholic Cemetery, we'll conclude the tour and return to your hotel.
