Jama Masjid – New Delhi, India

New Delhi – Jama Masjid

 In Old Delhi, you can find India’s largest mosque (holding up to 85,000 people!). It was commissioned by Shah Jahan, builder of the Taj Mahal, in the mid-17th century. The minarets have marvelous views of Old Delhi and New Delhi beyond. As expected, this is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
