JAMI MASJID ( FRIDAY MOSQUE) (1787 / ISLAMIC)
Built by Tipu Sultan. It looks like there is fence surrounding it., but the courtyard is on the second floor. But there is no dome on the prayer room. There are only two tall minarets. Hence the outside impression is different fron that of the other mosque. The minarets are finished in plaster and delicately decorated in arabesque and geometric pattern.
