A UNESCO world heritage site located in Bagerhat district of Bangladesh. This mosque, a architectural beauty, was built in fifteenth century by a Muslim preacher/emperor named Khan Jahan Ali. He founded a city at this place and built lots of mosques. Shat Gombuj Mosque is one of them and one of the few which are still intact.

It's an architecturally interesting building, even though I wouldn't say the most impressive in south Asia. Interior has good atmosphere with dimmed light, red domes and walls are appealing. But fine decoration is limited to arches and generally absent.

The Mosque is located about three miles west of the present Bagerhat town of Bangladesh. There is a museum inside in the mosque area. Tourists have to pay a small entrance fee of BDT 50 to visit the mosque. The museum next to the mosque is open from 9am to 12pm and from 2pm to 5pm. It has the many pillared interior that constitutes the real attraction. Suggestive of the great Mughal palaces of the period, and even of some of the great religious buildings of Europe, the superb pillars and the light they admit and the shadows they cast make the atmosphere of sanctity and durability. The Mosque is a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.Shait Gumbad Mosque was built by Khan Jahan Ali, a muslim sufi saint around 1450 A.D. The Masjid is built mostly of bricks, measures 192 feet from north to south and 130 feet from east to west. The length of the mosque is equal to 160 feet, its width is slightly less – 108 feet. The walls are unusually thick and very durable light brick. The mosque has an architectural style that strongly resembles other pre-mughal mosques of Bengal. There are four huge circular towers situated at the four corners of the mosque. The towers are a little tapered towards the top, with a hall above the roof level. The upper chamber of the two west towers has four windows, while the east towers has two windows.

The Sixty Dome Mosque ( Bengali : 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. It has been described as "the most impressive Muslim monuments in the whole of the Indian subcontinent.
The construction of the mosque was started in 1442 and it was completed in 1459. The mosque was used for prayers, and also as a madrasha and assembly hall.
It is located in Bagerhat district in southern Bangladesh which is in Khulna Division. It is about 3 miles far from the main town of Bagerhat. Bagerhat is nearly 200 miles away from Dhaka which is the capital of
Bangladesh .
The 'Sixty Dome' Mosque has walls of unusually thick, tapered brick in the Tughlaq style and a hut-shaped roofline that anticipates later styles. The length of the mosque is 160 feet and width is 108 feet. There are 77 low domes arranged in seven rows of eleven, and one dome on each corner, bringing the total to 81 domes. There are four towers. Two of four towers were used to call azaan . The interior is divided into many
aisles and bays by slender columns, which culminate in numerous arches that support the roof.
The mosque has 77 squat domes with 7 four-sided pitched Bengali domes in the middle row.The vast prayer hall, although provided with 11 arched doorways on east and 7 each on north and south for ventilation and light, presents a dark and somber appearance inside. It is divided into 7 longitudinal aisles and 11 deep bays by a forest of 60 slender stone columns, from which springs rows of endless arches, supporting the domes. Six feet thick, slightly tapering walls and hollow and round, almost detached corner towers, resembling the bastions of fortress, each capped by small rounded cupolas, recall the Tughlaq architecture of Delhi.The mosque represents wonderful archeological beauty which was the signature in the 15th century.
Sixty Domes or Sixty Columns
The mosque is locally known as the 'Shat Gombuj Masjid', which in Bangla means Sixty Domed Mosque. However, there are 77 domes over the main hall and exactly 60 stone pillars. It is possible that the mosque was originally referred to as the Sixty Pillared Mosque where Amud meaning column in Arabic/Persian, later got corrupted to Gombuj in Bangla, which means domes.
A large number of local and foreign visitors visit this place everyday
Their is a museum also.
entry fee to visit this place only 20 taka.

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 Ulugh Khan Jahan. He was the earliest torch bearer of Islam in the South who laid the center of an affluent city during the reign of Sultan Nasiruddin Mahmud Shah (1442-59), then known as ‘Khalifalabad’ (present Bagerhat). Khan Jahan aborned his city with numerous mosques, tanks, roads and other public buildings, the spectacular ruins of which are focused around the most imposing and largest multidomed mosques in Bangladesh, known as the Shait-Gumbad Masjid (160’X108′). The stately fabric of the monument, serene and impressive, stands on the eastern bank of an unusually vast sweet-water tank, clustered around by the heavy foliage of a low-laying countryside, characteristic of a sea-coast landscape. So in the year 1459 the great Azam Ulugh Khan Jahan established this mosque, which called Shat Gambuj Mosjid. In Bengali Shat means the number 60. Though it is called Shat Gambuj Mosjid, actually the numbers of Gamboj in the mosque are 81. The mosque roofed over with 77 squat domes, including 7 chauchala or four-sided pitched Bengali domes in the middle row. The vast prayer hall, although provided with 11 arched doorways on east and 7 each on north and south for ventilation and light, presents a dark and somber appearance inside. It is divided into 7 longitudinal aisles and 11 deep bays by a forest of slender stone columns, from which springs rows of endless arches, supporting the domes. Six feet thick, slightly tapering walls and hollow and round, almost detached corner towers, resembling the bastions of fortress, each capped by small rounded cupolas, recall the Tughlaq architecture of Delhi.

The general appearance of this noble monument with its stark simplicity but massive character reflects the strength and simplicity of the builder. This mosque is 160 ft long and 108 ft. in its width. This is one of the most beautiful archeological and historical Mosque in Bangladesh made by red burn mud.

The archeological beauty of this Mosque enchants the tourist till now. Besides this Mosque an archeological museum is there where you can find that times archeological and historical materials.
