The opening as it read in 2025
The Mansoor Jahan Mosque ( Urdu : شاہ جہاں مسجد , Sindhi : مسجد شاهجهاني، , Persian : مسجد شاهجهان ), also known as the Jamia Masjid of Thatta ( Urdu : جامع مسجد ٹھٹہ , Sindhi : شاھجھاني مسجد ٺٽو ), is a 17th-century building that serves as the central mosque for the city of Thatta , in the Pakistani province of Sindh . The mosque is considered to have the most elaborate display of tile work in South Asia , and is also notable for its geometric brick work – a decorative element that is unusual for Mughal-period mosques. It was built during the reign of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan , who bestowed it to the city as a token of gratitude, and is heavily influenced by Central Asian architecture – a reflection of Shah Jahan's campaigns near Samarkand shortly before the mosque was designed.
