    The Persian inscriptions on the mosque reveal that the Subahdar of Bengal Shaista Khan built-in 1667. It is believed that the mosque was built by the eldest son of Shaista Khan, Buzurg Umed Khan. He was also the conqueror of Chattogram. But, his name is not cited on the inscription. This mosque was unused for a long time and in the year 1761, the British officials used it to store arms and ammunition. In 1853, the Muslim elites of Chattogram headed by Hamidullah approached the British Government and were successful in releasing the mosque for religious purposes in 1855. The repairs and extension works are continuing till to date

    Large means large. A huge space is available here. Anyone can understand that it's an ancient structure though modification has been done. There is no safety issue. I found the police are on duty. Some policies are not similar to other mosques which may create misunderstanding to newcomers.

  • 5/5 Musaiyyeb Bin M. 2 years ago on Google
    A mosque from Mughal era that has udergone various changes through the colonial period and later times. The central chamber, with three domes is from Mughal era, which shows strong evidence of Mughal architecture, through the vandalism of 'renovation' that hampered the true beauty. The middle chamber, with exposed iron columns, was built in the colonial period. The outer part, and most of the mosque, has been built later. The courtyard on the highly elevated platform separates the main mosque from the surrounding area.
