  Not much to see here.

  Not much to see here. A run down, dirty mosque that is occasionally used for prayers. Difficult to get to. Not worth the effort.

  This mosque you see in the photos is in Delhi

  Seems that many people didn't check where they uploaded their photos. Jama Masjid in Delhi is big and looks great. Jama Masjid in Agra, which is close to the train station looks nothing like it, yet many people have added photos from the Delhi one, and even photos from Fatehpur Sikri which is 25km from Agra. It's a mix bag, better look soemwhere else for true photos.

  The Jama Masjid was regarded as a symbolic gesture of Islamic power across India, well into the colonial era

  The architectural brilliance of the Jama Masjid is truly aweinspiring. Its red sandstone & marble structure dominate the skyline of Old Delhi

  Jama Masjid, heart of city

  Jama Masjid (The Jama Mosque) is a 17th-century congregational mosque located in the historic core of Agra, India. It was built by Jahana Ara Begum, Padshah Begum (First Lady) of the Mughal Empire, during the reign of her father, Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. It is one of the largest mosques in India. Today it is still in use, serving as the principal mosque for the city of Agra

  Superb architecture.

  WHEN I walked into one building at Jama Masjid I felt like I was on the set of some Hollywood blockbuster which had created a strange alien environment. Carved beams criss-crossed overhead with unusual carved decorations beneath each intersection. It was not the first surprise that a tour of Fatehpursikri would throw at me. Jama Masjid is a 16th century mosque, one of the largest in India, and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The courtyard is gigantic, covering more than 230,000 sq ft. Be warned. You have to take your shoes off to be allowed in, women must wear long gowns and men in shorts will be asked to wear a wrap which can be hired at the entrance.
