ALAMGIR MASJID
The emperor's personal mosque, located in what was once Aurangzeb's palace and built in the half of the century
This mosque is located in what was once Qila-Ark, the palace of Aurangzeb. Although the palace has disappeared, sections of the fortress can still be seen on the way to it. Built in the second half of the 17th century, it bears the title of the emperor, Alamgir. Not very imposing, it was the emperor's personal mosque, which explains why it is sometimes called the Shahi Masjid (royal mosque). Unfortunately, successive restorations and additions, such as the canopy, have somewhat disfigured the original structure.
