Afzal Gunj Masjid, Historical mosque in Afzal Gunj, Hyderabad, India.

The Afzal Gunj Masjid features a three-arched facade with two minarets adorned with domes and finials at the front corners of its rectangular structure.

Built in 1866 by the fifth Nizam of Hyderabad, Afzal-ud-Daulah, this mosque became the second-largest religious structure in the city after Mecca Masjid.

The mosque combines Islamic architectural elements with regional craftsmanship, displaying intricate plasterwork throughout its exterior and interior spaces.

Located near Hyderabad's Central Bus Station, the mosque maintains regular prayer schedules and welcomes visitors during designated worship times.

The construction cost of one lakh rupees in 1866 resulted in a structure that incorporates Qutb Shahi revival style with three arches instead of five.
