4 reviews of Jama Masjid

one of the finest mosques of the Mughal era

The great mosque called Jami Masjid Agra is situated in the city of Fatehpur Sikri, which became the new capital, founded in 1569, by the Mughal Empire for a while, but then they left due to the lack of water. The Great Mosque begins across the victory bridge, the Buland Darzawa, and it is one of the finest mosques of the Mughal era. It is here that the tomb of the Emperor Al Sawlah lies. What impressed me most was the "bridge". It is not so much a bridge, but rather a kind of door that symbolizes the passage from earth to the great beyond, into the land of the gods. Fatehpur Sikir is an hour away from Agra, and it is well worth a trip there.
