Sixty Dome Mosque is a UNESCO World Heritage Site The Sixty Dome Mosque ( Shaṭ Gombuj Moshjid ) (more commonly known as Shait Gambuj Mosque or Saith Gunbad Masjid ),a UNESCO World Heritage Site , is a mosque in Bangladesh , the largest in that country from the Sultanate period.1 It has been described as "the most impressive Muslim monuments in the whole of the Indian subcontinent." In mid-15th century, a Muslim colony was founded in the unfriendly mangrove forest of the Sundarbans near the coastline in the Bagerhat district by an obscure saint-General, named Khan Jahan Ali . He preached in an affluent city during the reign of Sultan Nasiruddin Mahmud Shah , then known as 'Khalifalabad'. Khan Jahan adorned this city with more than a dozen mosques, the spectacular ruins of which are focused around the most imposing and largest multidomed mosques in Bangladesh, known as the Shait-Gumbad Masjid (160'×108'). The construction of the mosque was started in 1442 and it was completed in 1459.The mosque was used for prayer purposes. It was also used as a madrasha and assembly hall.
