    The Jama Masjid of Aligarh is the largest mosque of city and situated at the highest point in Aligarh. The mosque is commonly called “Jama Masjid” which means Friday. It was built by Mughal emperor Sabit Khan Bahadur Jung Bin Muhammad Beg Mughal Turk between 1714 A.D. (1127 Hijri) and 1728 A.D. (1141 Hijri), which was the 11th year of the reign of Mohammad Shah Ghazi (1702- 1748), a Mughal Emperor, son of Khujista Akhtar Jahan Shah, the son of Bahadur Shah I. The mosque was completed in 1728 AD with three gates, five domes and six minarets constructed of strips of red sandstone which is now painted into white colour. The mosque can accommodate more than 2,500 persons and more or less 107 people can offer Namaz in one row. At the occasion of Eid, Almost 5,000 people offer Namaz at Jama Masjid. There are five domes on the terrace which are surrounded by the four small minarets. It was constructed by more than 5000 workers.  Instead of the normal custom of building Jama Masjid is located on high land; it was built at a higher level than the surrounding land so the Devotees have to go up steps to enter it. In addition, instead of one entrance, Jama Masjid has three entrances. The Jama Masjid has a large ‘’Hauz’’ or tank, which consists of Water for the Wudhu of Namazi and into the middle of ‘’Hauz’ there is a fountain which makes the view more beautiful. Along with the Hauz, a ‘’Wuzu Khana’’ is constructed in the year of 2002. It is estimated that almost 400 KG gold and exquisite marble work were conducted under the patronage of Mughal Emperors
