Shat Gombuj Mosque : The world Heritage Site

The Sixty Dome Mosque is a mosque in Bangladesh, the largest in that country from the Sultanate period. It is located in Bagerhat  district in southern Bangladesh which is in the division of Khulna. 

The mosque has 77 squat domes with 7 four-sided pitched Bengali domes in the middle row.The vast prayer hall, although provided with 11 arched doorways on east and 7 each on north and south for ventilation and light, presents a dark and somber appearance inside. It is divided into 7 longitudinal aisles and 11 deep bays by a forest of 60 slender stone columns, from which springs rows of endless arches, supporting the domes. Six feet thick, slightly tapering walls and hollow and round, almost detached corner towers, resembling the bastions of fortress, each capped by small rounded cupolas, recall the Tughlaq architecture of Delhi.The mosque represents wonderful archaeological beauty which was the signature in the 15th century.
