A Mughal-era mosque in the Anderkilla area of central Chittagong, built in 1667 to mark the Mughal capture of the city from the Arakanese. The original three-domed structure has been altered and extended over the centuries — the current building has many more domes and a larger prayer hall — but the original courtyard and mihrab survive intact.
The mosque is in active daily use. Non-Muslim visitors can usually walk into the courtyard but should not enter the prayer hall during prayer times. Worth combining with a walk through the Anderkilla bazaar.
