Jama Masjid Jaunpur

With a height of more than 200 ft. this mosque near Purani Bazar on the Shahganj road is an important monument of the Sharki period. The outer boundary of this huge mosque is 320 ft. on the East-West and 307 ft. on the North-south side. The geometric design, the Egyptian style engravings, the curves of its arches, the unique form of the Lotus, sunflower and rose motifs are worth seeing. Its foundation has been laid at the time of Ibrahim Shah’s rule and its construction was finished during the reign of Hussain Shah. The eastern gateway was destroyed by Sikander Lodhi later on.
