Abstract
In the Baburid State, which was established in 1526 in India, the capital city was changed from time to time due to political, economic and social reasons. In this context, the cities of Agra, Delhi, Fatehpur Sikri and Lahore have assumed capital positions at different times. However, in the event of a change or relocation of the capital, the star of the city, which was previously the capital, never faded and its vitality continued since Agra and Delhi, as well as being commercial attractions, were built on ancient history. Fetihpur Sikri hosted religious and spiritual personalities. Lahore, on the other hand, had the task of being an important intersection connecting land trade with other regions of India, as well as being of military importance with its geostrategic location. The time limitation of this study, which deals with the capital cities in Baburid State, is the cross-section between 1526 and 1707. The sources used in the study are the sources written by the Baburid rulers or their relatives such as Vekayi (Baburnama), Akbarnama and Tuzuk i Jahangiri (Jahangirnama), and the memoirs and reports containing the impressions of travelers and merchants such as Bernier and Tavernier who went to India. In addition, the current literature on Indian and Baburid city history studies was also benefited.
