যারা ইতিহাস আর ঐতিহ্যকে জানতে ও দেখতে পছন্দ করেন তাদের জন্য দর্শনীয় এই মুঘল মসজিদ কেল্লা মসজিদ( লালবাগ কেল্লা)।তিন গম্বুজওয়ালা দুর্গ মসজিদ (শাহী মসজিদ)।সম্রাট আওরঙ্গজেবের ৩য় পুত্র শাহজাদা আজম বাংলার সুবাদার থাকাকালীন এই মসজিদ নির্মাণ করেছিলেন ১৬৭৮-৭৯ খ্রিষ্টাব্দে। তিন গম্বুজ বিশিষ্ট মসজিদটি এদেশের প্রচলিত মুঘল মসজিদের একটি আদর্শ উদাহরণ।
লালবাগ কেল্লায় অবস্থিত মসজিদটি টিকেট কাউন্টারের ডান পাশ দিয়ে ঢুকা যায়। এখনো প্রতি ওয়াক্ত নামাজ আদায় করা হয়।তিনটি বিশাল গোলাকার গম্বুজ দারা নির্মিত।ভিতরে বাতাস চলাচলের জন্য দুই পাশে লম্বা জানালা আছে।মুঘল আমলের অসাধারণ নির্মান শৈলী বিদ্যমান।মসজিদের সামনে থেকে পুরো লালবাগ কিল্লা দৃশ্যমান কিন্তু পবিত্রতা রক্ষার জন্য লোহার গ্রিল দিয়ে মসজিদের অংশ আলাদা করে রাখা হয়েছে।
যেখানেই ঘুরতে যাই সেই স্থানের পরিবেশ জেনো আমরা নোংরা না করি।ঐতিহাসিক স্থাপনার দেয়ালে কোন কিছু লেখা থেকে বিরত থাকি অন্যকে অনুৎসাহিত করি।ধর্মীয় স্থাপনার পবিত্রাতা রক্ষা করি।
যেভাবে যাবেনঃ
ঢাকার যেকোন স্থান থেকে লালবাগ চৌরাস্তায় যাবেন।সেখান থেকে সামান্য পায়ে হাটা দূরেই লালবাগ কেল্লা। লালবাগ কেল্লার টিকেট কাউন্টারের পাশে হাতের ডান দিকে মসজিদটির অবস্থান।

Diwan-i-Aam is a two storied residence of the Mughal governor of Bengal located on the east side of the complex. A single storied hammam is attached on its west. The hammam portion has an underground room for boiling water. A long partition wall runs along the western facade of the hammam.
The building is situated about 39 meters (36') to the west of the tank, running from north to south. The external measurements of the building are 32.47m x 8.18m (107' x 29').
There are living quarters on each level of two stories and a main central hallway connecting them. There is a Hammamkhana (Bathhouse) in the southern part of the building which is one of the seventh Hammamkhana still existing in ruins in the heritage of Bangladesh.
Recent excavations (1994–2009) show that there was a special room below the room of Hammamkhana, where archaeologists found the arrangements for heating water, supplying the hot water as well as cool water to the Hammamkhana through the terracotta pipes which was specially manufactured for such purpose. The discovery of black spots in the underground room proof that fire had been used for the purpose of heating the water for the Hammamkhana. There was also a toilet room by the side of Hammamkhana.
All the building along with the arrangements of Hammamkhana clearly shows that it was very much in use by the Subadar of Bengal and that Subadar was Shaista Khan. From the report of the Governor of English Factory it was learned that Shaista Khan used to live in this room and some Europeans were kept in custody here.

This mosque is a heritage mosque. Structure and architecture of the mosque was so nicely made. I loved praying here. Also Ojukhana was clean and fresh water supplied from deep soil. Place is opened outside. No parking area for car, but bike can be parked inside. From the mosque Lalbagh Fort can be seen.

Lalbagh Fort was an incomplete structure by a Mughal Emperor named patrician Muhammad Azam (third son of Aurangazeb). He started the work of the fort in 1678 during his vice-royality in People’s Republic of Bangladesh (Previous Bengal). He stayed in Bengal for fifteen months. It remained incomplete once he was referred to as by his father Aurangazeb. Shaista Khan was the new Subedar of capital of Bangladesh therein time, and he didn’t complete the fort. In 1684, the female offspring of Shaista Khan named Persia Dukht (Pari Bibi) died there. After her death, he started to suppose the fort as ominous, and left the structure incomplete. Among the three major parts of Lalbagh Fort, one is that the grave of Pari Bibi. once Shaista Khan left capital of Bangladesh, it lost its quality. The most cause was that the capital was replaced from Dhaka to Murshidabad. After the end of royal Mughal period, the fort became abandoned. In 1844, the realm achieved its name as Lalbagh substitution Aurangabad, so the fort as Lalbagh Fort.

মুঘল আমলে ফিরে যাওয়ার অনুভূতি পেতে চাইলে লালবাগের কেল্লার জুড়ি নেই। এবং জায়গাটা খুবই সুন্দর। 'হাম্মাম' এর ভেতর অনেক নিদর্শন সংরক্ষিত আছে, সেগুলো দেখতে ভুলবেন না যেন!

albagh Fort (also Fort Aurangabad) is an incomplete 17th century Mughal fort complex that stands proudly before the Buriganga River in the southwestern part of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The construction was started in 1678 AD by Mughal Subahdar Muhammad Azam Shah who was son of Emperor Aurangzeb and later emperor himself. His successor, Shaista Khan, did not continue the work, though he stayed in Dhaka up to 1688.

Mughal prince Muhammad Azam, third son of Aurangzeb started the work of the fort in 1678 during his vice-royalty in Bengal. He stayed in Bengal for 15 months. The fort remained incomplete when he was called away by his father Aurangzeb.

Shaista Khan was the new subahdar of Dhaka in that time, and he did not complete the fort. In 1684, the daughter of Shaista Khan named Iran Dukht Pari Bibi died there. After her death, he started to think the fort as unlucky, and left the structure incomplete. Among the three major parts of Lalbagh Fort, one is the tomb of Pari Bibi.

After Shaista Khan left Dhaka, it lost its popularity. The main cause was that the capital was moved from Dhaka to Murshidabad. After the end of the royal Mughal period, the fort became abandoned. In 1844, the area acquired its name as Lalbagh replacing Aurangabad, and the fort became Lalbagh Fort.

For long the fort was considered to be a combination of three buildings (the mosque, the tomb of Bibi Pari and the Diwan-i-Aam), with two gateways and a portion of the partly damaged fortification wall. Recent excavations carried out by the Department of Archaeology of Bangladesh have revealed the existence of other structures.

The southern fortification wall has a huge bastion in the southwestern corner. On the north of the south fortification wall were the utility buildings, stable, administration block, and its western part accommodated a beautiful roof-garden with arrangements for fountains and a water reservoir. The residential part was located on the east of the west fortification wall, mainly to the south-west of the mosque.

The fortification wall on the south had five bastions at regular intervals two stories in height, and the western wall had two bastions; the biggest one is near the main southern gate. The bastions had an underground tunnel. The central area of the fort is occupied by three buildings – the Diwan-i-Aam and the hammam on its east, the Mosque on the west and the Tomb of Pari Bibi in between the two – in one line, but not at equal distance. A water channel with fountains at regular intervals connects the three buildings from east to west and north to south.

There is no place for female worshippers. We went to see if there's any space for females to pray but the people there were so rude and made us get out of this place. Extremely disappointed.

This old mosque really deserves recognition. Very peaceful yard along with the fort. Lovely place to visit and have prayer.
