Sixty Dome Mosque

The Sixty Dome Mosque, also known as Shait Gumbad, is the main architectural focus of historic Bagerhat. Its vast hypostyle hall is best understood alongside the museum and nearby Singair Mosque, rather than as an isolated monument.

The place

What makes it special

  • Shait Gumbad’s large hypostyle hall.
  • The Sixty Dome name is not a literal count of its roof coverings.
  • Its setting belongs to a wider historic landscape of ponds and scattered buildings.
