Pathar Masjid, built by Nur Jahan in 1623, is considered as the biggest surviving Mughal structure in Kashmir. Situated across the River Jhelum, it faces the mosque of Shah Hamdan. It is believed that the construction of this mosque took place under the supervision of the renowned Mughal historian and architect, Malik Hyder Chaudhary.
The mosque has nine arches which are built horizontally with a big arched entrance in the middle. In the recent past, all the arches have been closed with the help of a rubble stone masonry. At present this mosque is almost in ruins and attracts several archaeologists and historians with an interest in the Mughal architectural style.
