Lalbagh Fort Mosque

The date of construction this rectangular three-domed mosque inside the Lalbagh fort is problematic. Traditionally it is considered to be contemporary with the Lalbagh Fort, constructed by Muhammad Azam in 1678-79. However, recent exploration identified it as 1649, with a further restoration of 1780. The fort complex named Lalbagh stands before the Buriganga River in the southwestern part of Dhaka, Bangladesh.
This mosque, part of the Lalbagh Fort Complex and built under the rule of Governor Shaista Khan, is situated in the western part of the complex, aligned with the tomb of Bibi Pari. The Lalbagh Fort mosque is a typical Bengali Mughal type; that is, a rectangular structure crowned with three-domes. It is one of the finest examples of its kind, where the central dome is larger.
The mosque was restored and repaired by the Department of Archaeology, Bangladesh, and is now a protected monument.
