Jama Masjid

Built in 1424 AD, Jama Masjid was one of the largest mosques in the Indian subcontinent during that period. It is located in the old walled city. Also known as Jumah Mosque or Jami Masjid (literally translating to Friday Mosque), Jama Masjid has an Indo-Muslim architectural structure, which was built according to the Gujarat style of architecture. The entrance has two columns, which are now the remains of two minarets that were destroyed by the earthquakes of 1819 and 1956.
