5 Architectural Buildings in Minto Road That You Shouldn't Miss

November 1, 2021 Layne Dawes

New Delhi is all at once chaotic and calm, a complicated city where cows often wander the shanty-lined streets. The 17th century Red Fort is a mass of domes and turrets, while Chandni Chowk is an exercise in friendly haggling. Jantar Mantar features larger-than-life sundials and astronomical instruments that are still used to predict the weather. Travelers and locals flock to the India Gate, the national monument of India that honors the soldiers who died in World War I and the Third Afghan War.

Friday Mosque (Jama Masjid)

Emperor Shah Jahan, who also built the Taj Mahal, commissioned this mosque in 1644. It remains the largest mosque in India.

Reviewed By AZCasualTraveler - Mesa, United States

The Jama Masjid Mosque is one of the largest Mosques in India and it is a beautifully constructed Mosque. According to Wikipedia it was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan with a completion date of 1656. This same Emperor was also responsible for the construction of the Red Fort in Old Delhi and the Taj Mahal in Agra. The Jama Masjid Mosque is a must see place while in New Delhi because of its elegant and stunning architecture - it is a very popular tourist attraction. To get a decent photo of the main mosque structure, you would have to stand near the middle of the large courtyard area because of the huge size of the building and the very tall pillars. A visit to New Delhi would not be complete without visiting the historic Jama Masjid Mosque.
