Safa Masjid, 16th-century mosque in Ponda, India
The Safa Masjid features a rectangular prayer hall covered by a terracotta tile roof, surrounded by gardens and accompanied by a masonry tank.
Ibrahim Adil Shah I from the Bijapur Sultanate commissioned the construction of Safa Masjid in 1560, establishing an enduring Islamic presence in Goa.
The Archaeological Survey of India maintains this religious structure as a Monument of National Importance, preserving its architectural and spiritual elements.
Located two kilometers from central Ponda, the mosque remains an active place of worship while welcoming visitors interested in its historical architecture.
The mosque includes a 30-meter square masonry tank decorated with Mihrab designs, demonstrating the integration of water features in Islamic religious architecture.
