"Fort Aurangabad") is an incomplete Mughalpalace fortress at the
Buriganga River in the southwestern part of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Construction was
commenced in 1678 by Prince Muhammad Azam during his 15-month long vice-royalty

successor, Shaista Khan, did not complete the work, though he stayed in Dhaka

him to consider the fort to be ominous. Lalbagh Fort

6. The National Memorial at Savar is a
symbol of the nation's respect for the martyrs of the war of Liberation. It is
built with Concrete, but made of blood. IT stands 150 feet tall, but every
martyr it stands for stands so much taller. It is an achievement the dimensions
of which can be measured but it stands for an achievement which is
immeasurable. It stands upright for the millions of martyrs who laid their
lives so that we may stand upright, in honour and dignity, amongst the nations
of the world. Most prominently visible is the 150 feet tower that stands on a
base measuring 130 feet wide. National Memorer

9. Among the many surviving monuments
of the Khan Jahan Ali style, undoubtedly the most magnificent and largest brick
mosque in Bangladesh is the Shait Gombuj. It is situated in Bagerhat district.
For outstanding architectural value. the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO
inscribed Bagerhat in the World Heritage list and it got the status of the
second World Heritage site in Bangladesh after Paharpur. Out of today's
surviving mosques, the Shait Gombuj Mosque is the most magnificent and certainly
the largest brick mosque surviving in Bangladesh. Its name, meaning '60 domes',
is misleading as in reality, it is roofed over with 77 small domes supported by
a forest of slender columns covering a large prayer hall and giving it the
appearance of a medieval church crypt. At sunrise when the rays of the sun
penetrate the eastern entrances, the interior comes to life. There is little
adornment to this building other than the carved stone decoration to the
central mihrab at the western end of the prayer hall. The exterior facades,
with slightly 'battered' walls, have discernible curving cornices a concession
to the local style. Shat Gambuj Mosque

10. One of the most graceful monuments
of the Sultanate period is the Chhota Sona Masjid or Small Golden Mosque at
Gaur in Rajshahi. Built by one Wali Muhammad during the reign of Sultan
Alauddin Husain Shah (1493-1519), it was originally roofed over with 15 gilded
domes including the 3 ChauchaIqa domes in the middle row, from which it derives
its curious name. Chhota Sona Masjid

11. It is called the Seat of Lost
Dynasties. About 8 km to the west of Comilla town, situated 114 km southeast of
Dhaka, lies a range of low hills known as the Mainamati-Lalmai ridge, which was
an extensive centre of Buddhist culture. On the slopes or these hills lie
scattered a treasure of information about the early Buddhist civilization
(7th-12th Century AD.). At Salban in the middle or the ridge, excavations have
laid bare a large Buddhist Vihara (monastery) with an imposing central shrine.
It has revealed valuable information about the rule of the Chandra and Deva
dynasties which Flourished here from the 7th to the 12th century AD. The whole
range of hillocks runs for about 18 km and is studded with more than 50 sites.
A site museum houses the archaeological finds which include terra cotta
plaques, bronze statues and caskets, coins, jewellery, utensils, pottery and
votive stupas embossed with Buddhist inscriptions. Mainamati

12. It is the National Mosque of
Bangladesh. Its construction began on 1960, and has been going on in phases.
Architect T Abdul Hussain Thariani was commissioned to design the mosque
complex. The plan included shops, offices, libraries and parking areas within
the complex. The design of the mosque reflects the architecture of the period
as can be seen from the use of a white and almost cube-form for the main
building. A Mosque without a dome over the roof of its main prayer hall must
have been a unique experiment. The main building is eight storied and 33 meters
high from the ground level. The area of the main prayer hall is 2464 SQ meters
with a mezzanine floor of 171 SQ metres at the eastern side. Verandas surround the
hall on three of its four sides. The mihrab of the hall is rectangular instead
of semi-circular. The Baitul Mukarram mosque is modern in its architectural
style. It has found its place in the hearts of the Muslims because of the
resemblance of its form to the Holy Kaaba at Makkah. Baitul Mukarram- the

13. Sonargaon's importance in the
pre-Muslim period is borne out by its ancient name of Suvarnagrama (the golden
village), from which it is obvious how the Muslim version of the name is
derived,as well as by the existence of Langalbandh and Panchamighat, the two
traditional under Ghiyasuddin Bahadur Shah, and after his fall it was the
headquarters of the eastern province of Bengal under the Tughlaqs till 1338.
Sonargaon emerged as the capital of an independent Sultanate under Fakhruddin Mubarak
Shah (1338-1349). In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century Panam
Nagar was developed in a part of holy bathing places of the Hindus, in this
tract of land on the west bank of the old Brahmaputra.Sonargaon rose to be the
seat of an independent ruler medieval Sonargaon. Sonargaon

establishment, is a very beautiful mosque of the city situated at Armanitola,
in the old part of Dhaka City. In faultless Mughal style architecture, it is a
five -dome mosque with hundreds of big and small twinkling stars as surface
decorations. The stars have been created by setting pieces or chinaware on
white cement. Seen from the front and from far it looks as if it were shining
above the surface of the earth. The inside or the mosque is even more beautiful
than the outside, with a lovely mosaic floor and excellent tiles with many
floral patterns set on the walls, all in complete harmony. Star Mosque

16. Hossaini dalan Husaini Dalan a
Shiite shrine in the old part of the city of DHAKA, attributed to the Mughal
Period. It is a common practice among the Shia community to build edifices to
commemorate the martyrdom of al-Husain, at the battle of Karbala in Iraq on the
tenth day of Muharram 61 AH (10 October 680 AD). The building seems to have
been originally erected by one Sayyid Murad during the governorship of SHAH
SHUJA, who, although himself a Sunni, was eager to preserve and patronise
Shiite institutions. Traditions relate that Sayyid Murad, having seen al-Husain
in a vision erecting a tazia khana (house of mourning), was inspired to raise
the building, which he named Husaini Dalan. The original building may have been
a small structure, expanded to its present form in later times. The EAST INDIA
COMPANY repaired it in 1807 and 1810, and a portion of the building was
reconstructed after the earthquake of 1897.

20. This church dates from 1781 and it
is still functioning today. Compared to some of the splendid churches elsewhere
in the world, this is a rather small, but interesting building crowding on a
narrow back street of old Dhaka. But in the Dhaka context it is a very
important tranquil haven in the heart of a huge crowded Muslim city. The church
supports a small Christian community from several countries that meets every
Sunday evening. The Armenians were once at the heart of Bengal’s jute and
leather trade but the community has virtually vanished. For much of the rest of
the week the door to the compound is looked but there is always someone inside
because the caretaker, his family and others live on site. You just need to
wait or bang loudly on the door and someone will come to let you in. American

3 mihrabs relieved richly with beautiful terracotta floral and hanging
