Akbar Church
Akbar's Church, also known as the Church of Akbar, is a historic Roman Catholic church located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh. Built in 1600 by Jesuit Fathers, it was the first Roman Catholic church in the Mughal Empire. Mughal Emperor Akbar invited Jesuit priests from Portuguese Goa to learn about Christianity, and he granted land for the church's construction.
The church has a rich history, including contributions from Akbar's son Jahangir for its expansion and its rebuilding after being demolished by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1635.
The church is situated on Shamshabad Gwalior Bypass Road and remains an active place of worship. It is a testament to the cultural and religious exchanges during the Mughal era.
