It is an Amazing Heritage sites situated on National Highway near ISBT Agra. Here are two monuments situated inside the complex. Actually these are the tombs of Salabat Khan & Sadik khan. They both were Mir Bakhshi (Head of the military Administration) in Mughal Court. Sadik was the father of Salabat Khan & Salabat khan was the son of Sadik khan. I liked this place due to its beautiful architectural style. But I can't understand why ASI doesn't open it for tourists. And why didn't they impose ticket fee.

Popularly known as Chausath Khamba, the tomb of Salabat Khan lies adjacent to the tomb of his father Sadiq Khan

Salabat Khan was Shah Jahan's Mir Bakshi (Treasurer)
In 1644, Amar Singh Rathore insulted by some comment of the Mir-Bakhshi, stabbed him to death in the Diwan-I-Am at Agra Fort, in the presence of Shah Jahan.

Tomb was built between 1644-1650.
It is a red sandstone hall with 25 bays, built on a raised platform, with steps on each side.
Each facade is made up of five arches supported on four colums at the corners & twin columns in the middle.
Internal arches has 16 single pillars.
Thus, there are 64 pillars altogether, so called as Chausath Khamba (64 pillared)
It does not have any dome & the roof is flat.
Four beautiful square Chhatris are there on the four corners of the raised platform.
