Fitch also says that "between Agra and Fatehpore are twelve (actually 23) miles, and all the way is a market ... as full as though a man were still in a town and so many people as if a man were in a market."⁵⁷ Similarly the Sikandara Road was also always crowded. From Agra to Sikandara, a distance of about five miles, there were markets and buildings on both sides. Therefore the total inhabitants of the region from Fatehpur Sikri to Agra and Agra to Sikandara should have been about 800,000 to 1,000,000.
