Jumma MasjidThe Jame-Masjid of Ahmedabad is one of the biggest and oldest mosque for Friday Prayers. Built by Sultan Ahmed Shah in 1423, the mosque is located in the centre of the old city. It is one of the finest mosques in India with 260 pillars supporting 15 domes at different elevations. There is a spacious courtyard in marble. The mosque had minarets which were destroyed in an earthquake. The Hindu style of architecture is obviously seen on the walls and the niches of the mosque.
