Historical place of Bangladesh

Bangladesh have many historical place . The Shat Gambuj  Mosque is one of them. In mid-15^th century, a Muslim colony was founded in the inhospitable mangrove forest of the Sundarbans near the seacoast in Bagerhat district by a saint Ulugh Khan Jahan. He was the earliest torchbearer of Islam in the South who laid the nucleus of an affluent city during the reign of Sultan Nasiruddin Mahmud Shah (1442-59), then known as `Khalifatabad’

(present Bagerhat). Khan Jahan adorned his city with numerous mosques, tanks, roads and public buildings. The most spectacular of which is the imposing multimode mosque in Bangladesh, known as the Shat Gambuj Masjid. The stately fabric of the monument stands on the eastern bank of a vast sweet- water tank, clustered around by the heavy foliage of  a low-lying countryside characteristic of the seacoast landscape. The mosque is roofed over with 77 squat domes, including 7 chauchala of four-sided domes in the diddle row. The vast prayer hall is provided with 11 arched doorways on east and 7 each on north and south for ventilation and light. It has 7 longitudinal aisles and 1 I deep bays by a forest of slender stones columns. From these columns spring rows of endless arches, supporting the domes. The arches are six feet in thickness, have slightly tapering hollow and round walls. The interior and exterior of the mosque give a view of rather plain architecture but the interior western wall of the mosque is beautifully decorated with terracotta flowers and foliage. Besides being being as a prayer  nail the mosque was also used as the  court of Khan Jahan Ali. Now it is one of the greatest tourist attractions and best architectural beauties of Bangladesh .
