The Sidi Saiyad Mosque was built in 1573, which is one of the most famous mosque of Ahmedabad. It was built by Sidi Saiyad. The mosque is entirely arcuated and is famous for beautifully carved ten stone latticework  windows  on the side and rear arches. The rear wall is filled with square stone pierced panels in geometrical designs. The two bays flanking the central aisle have reticulated stone slabs carved in designs of intertwined trees and foliage and a palm motif.

The walls of cloister are fitted with carved stone screens. The principal tomb belongs to Mughalai Bibi, the wife of Muhammad Shah II and mother of Mahmud Begada. It is richly carved in white marble, and girt with a Persian inscription in minute relief. An adjacent tomb in black marble, once inlaid with mother-of-pearl, belongs to Mirki or Murki Bibi, the wife of Shah e Alam, the sister of queen and the daughter of Jam of Sindh.
