It is from the tenth century onwards that the haze shrouding the history of Agra begins to clear. According to Jahangir even before the Lodi Sultans made it their capital, Agra was a big city (Ma‘mura-i Kalān) with a fortress which was mentioned with high praise by the Ghaznavide poet Mas‘ud Sa‘ad Salman.u2060

The emergence of Agra as a viable city probably coincided with the decline in the fortunes of Delhi after its sack by the forces of Timur.u2060

But the greatest contributions to the city are by the Mughals. Many structures built by them continue to survive including this mosque that was once said to be the principal mosque of the city. The Kalan Masjid now popularly known as Kali Masjid was built by Nawab Muzaffar Khan(d. 1580) during the reign of Emperor Akbar.u2060
