Jumma Masjid and Cannon, Historical mosque with cannons at Uparkot Fort, Junagadh, India
The Jumma Masjid stands on a brick platform within Uparkot Fort, featuring thick walls, an open-air main hall, and a restored terrace accessible by stairs.
Constructed in 1472 by Mahmud Begada following Junagadh's capture, the mosque incorporated materials from an existing structure known as Ranakdevi Mahal.
The site contains two significant cannons: the 17-foot Nilam and 13-foot Kadanal, both transported from Diu during the Ottoman period.
The monument remains open to visitors daily from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with an entrance fee of 25 INR for Indian nationals and 300 INR for foreigners.
Arabic inscriptions on the Nilam cannon reveal its commission by the Sultan of Arabia and Persia, marking its role in the 1538 siege of Diu.
