The passion and love the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan had for constructing Musjids is no secret. The 17th century Moti (Pearl) Musjid is yet another illustration of this. Situated northwest of the palace, the Musjid is located at the highest point within the Agra Fort complex. Its construction is a display of extraordinary Mughal architectural design featuring a red sandstone exterior which has been designed in such a unique manner, that it gives the impression of being a three-storey building. The interior on the other hand, is built entirely out of pure white marble making it a sight to behold. 

The Musjid has three entrances; to the north, south and east. The eastern gateway is considered the main entrance and it is approached by an open flight of stairs from either side. The north and south gateways have closed double-vaulted staircases leading to the Musjid. The central courtyard contains a square marble tank and a sundial in the shape of an octagonal marble pillar. The Musjid also has three elegant marble domes and six minarets. The Musjid was completed in 1655, taking seven years to build.
