Shat Gambuj Masjid

The most spectacular of which is the imposing multi domed 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 seacoast landscape.
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 the exterior of the mosque give a view of rather plain architecture but the interior western wall of the mosque was beauty fully decorated with terracotta flowers and foliage.
Besides being used as a prayer hall 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.
