| The Jama Masjid mosque of Fatehpur Sikri was built into 1571 and would be the copy of that of Mecca. It measures 168 metres on 144 metres and has a large inside courtyard. The main entry is a 54 metres high door, Buland Darwaza, raised after the victory of Akbar over Gujarat. The other entry, Shahi Darwaza, was that followed by the king. |
