Masjid-E-Ala Mosque [Jama Masjid Mosque]

The twin minarets of the mosque were a gift from Tipu and they dominate the eastern skyline (along with the nearby Flag-Staff Cavalier). The minarets were a favourite subject matter for many contemporary European artists in their depictions of the British campaigns against the capital of Mysore.
