Khan Mohammed Mirdha’s Mosque

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:17:36

Some 500m west of Lalbagh Fort is Khan Mohammed Mirdha’s Mosque . Erected in 1706, this Mughal structure is stylistically similar to Lalbagh Fort. It is built on a raised platform, up a flight of 25 steps. Three squat domes, with pointed minarets at each corner, dominate the rectangular roof. To get a good view of this walled mosque, enter the main gate off the main road. Unfortunately, unless you’re here during prayer times (around 1pm), you’ll probably find the gate locked.
