'Hiran Minar' (Deer Tower) at the out-skirts of the Palace complex at Fathehpur Sikri, has a singular-looking architecture - It is studded almost all over with 2 feet (61 cms.) long marble stone replica of elephant's tusks. This 90 feet (about 27.4 metres) high tower was built in 1571-2 by Mughal Emperor Akbar.
