World Cultural Heritage: The historic mosque town Bagerhat
In the 15th century AD, a great saint-warrior named Khan-i-Jahan founded a town on the western side of present-day Bagerhat. On the basis of monetary evidence, scholars believe that the city was known as Khalifatabad in the 16th century AD. This rich city was filled with numerous mosques, buildings, reservoirs, roads and tombs. Most of which are extinct today. Among the surviving signs are the Shatagumbu Masjid, Singaier Mosque, Bibbighnagi Mosque, Chunkhola Mosque, Rezakhoda Mosque and Ninegambu Mosque, the tombs of Khanjahan, the shrine and mosque mosque of Zindapir. They are spread 2.5 km to the east-west and about 6 km to the north-south. Due to its universal importance as an architectural symbol to the human race, the antiquities of Bagerhat were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.
