This is the biggest mosque in India and is one of the last buildings to be made by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. The construction of the mosque took 14 years and ended in 1658. It has three entrances and four towers. The top of the towers provide a priceless view of the old city. The mosque itself has been constructed in sandstone and marble. The central courtyard can hold up to 25,000 people at any give time, but after 5p, only Muslims are allowed to stay inside the premises. Word of caution: Women are not allowed to go up the minaret without a male escort.
