Saat Masjid (Bengali: সাত মসজিদ; Satgumbad Mosque or Seven Domed Mosque) was built in 17th century at the north west outskirt of Dhaka (in present-day Bangladesh).
History[edit]
Accounting the stylistic patterns of the mosque, it is suggested that it was built sometime around 1680 AD.[1][2] It was during the reign of the Subahdar of Bengal, Shaista Khan (r. 1664–1688). Now the mosque falls in Mohammadpur Thana region. A street, Saat Masjid Road, commemorates the name of the mosque.
