★ ★ ★ ★ ★ stands on ground that slopes from east to west to the north of Diwan-i-Aam complex in Agra Fort. The courtyard of the Moti Masjid has side arcades and arched recessions and the main sanctuary facade beyond. The sanctuary is roofed with three bulbous domes built of light white marble and stand on the red sandstone walls. There are a series of Hindu-style domed kiosks along the parapet. There are seven bays that are divided into aisles which are supported by piers and lobed arches. The Moti Masjid boasts of extensive white marble facing, a typical stylistic feature of architecture during the reign of Shah Jahan.
This masjid was constructed at a cost of 2 lakh and 60 thousand rupees[citation needed] and took four years to build.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Moti Masjid or the Pearl Mosque was built by Shah Jahan in 1648 at the bank of river Yamuna. Although lesser known, it is one of the best places to visit in Agra.
The mosque is well known for its delicate designs and architecture on shining white marble which gives it the name “pearl mosque”. But what attracts many tourists to visit this mosque is how it stands miraculously on a slope with several arched recessions and side arcades.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ At a distance of 4.5 km from Agra Cantonment Railway Station and 2.5 km from Taj Mahal, the Moti Masjid or the Pearl Mosque is situated to the north of Diwan-i-Am complex inside the Agra Fort.
Moti Masjid was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan during 1648-54 AD. It was built as a place of worship for the royal members of the court. A mosque that shines like a pearl in a moonlit night, hence the name Pearl Mosque, Moti Masjid is one of the oldest mosques in the city. The glorious mosque took nearly four years to complete and is built in a style that is typical to Shah Jahan's era of reign.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Most of them misunderstand "Agra Fort" as "Red Fort" but both these places are different. Agra Fort is in Agra and Red Fort is in Delhi. Both are made of red sand stone.
The Moti Masjid of Red Fort was built by Aurangzeb and is famous for its rich architectural beauty.
