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.
The part of the magnificent bridge was built by Akbar in 1602, in order to celebrate the conquest of Gujarat. There are 42 steps to climb up to the mosque, and the door is over 53 meters high. It is made of red stone from the region. One interesting thing about the mosque is that there is no minaret.
