About Jama Masjid
The white towers of the Jama Masjid, the oldest mosque in
Hyderabad, rise a few meters from the Charminar. It was built by
Muhammad Quli Qutub Shah in the year 1597 after the completion of
the Charminar.
Within the premises of Jama masjid lie the ruins of an old Turkish
bath. Formerly, a school and a monastery used to lie within the
walls of the mosque, but they no longer exist presently. The Jama
Masjid is still frequented by a large number of Muslims and remains
one of the principal places of worship in the city.
