The Jama Masjid mosque in Old Delhi, India, was constructed in 1650–56 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. It is now the second largest mosque on the Indian subcontinent, also an impressive example of Mughal architecture.The mosque is near the Red Fort, yet another of Shah Jahān’s buildings. Jama Masjid and its courtyard stand on an outcropping more than 30 steps higher than the street, giving the mosque a commanding view of the surrounding area.
