Sixty dome mosque
Sixty-Dome Mosque An ancient mosque located in the south-west of Bagerhat district of Bangladesh. There is no inscription on the mosque. So no accurate information is available about who was created or at what time it was built. But there is no doubt about the architecture of the mosque that Khan Jahan had built. It is believed that he built it in the 15th century. This mosque was built for many years and with a lot of money. The stones were brought from Rajmahal It is located in one of the three world heritage sites of Bangladesh; The city of Bagerhat has been given the status of World Heritage Site. In 1983, UNESCO gave this honor.
The mosque is about 160 feet in the north-south direction and about 143 feet long in the interior and about 104 feet on the east-west side and about 88 feet wide in the interior. The walls are about 8 feet thick.
Outdoors:
The mosque has 11 large enclosure doors on the eastern wall. The middle door is bigger than the others. The north and south walls have 7 doors. There are 4 monuments in the 4 corners of the mosque.
Interior:
There are 10 mihrabs on the western wall inside the mosque. The middle mihrab is big and shapely in shape. There are 5 mihrabs in the south and 4 mihrabs in the north. Just next to the middle of the mihrab, on the north side, where there is one mihrab, there are 1 small door. According to some, Khan-i-Jahan used this mosque as a darbar house apart from the work of Salat, and this door was the entrance to the court room. Some people say that the mosque was also used as a madrassa. There is a place named as Emam's place for sitting.
