- Description: Satgumbad Mosque located in the Muhammadpur area of Dhaka city; the building exhibits seven domes- three over the prayer chamber and four over the corner towers. Hence it is known as Satgumbad (seven domed) Mosque. The inscription tablet of the mosque is now lost, so its exact date is not known. But in plan and other constructional details, save the hollow and massive domed corner towers, the mosque has the strongest similarities with some late 17th century mosques of Dhaka such as the Lalbagh Fort Mosque (c 1678-79) and Khwaja Ambars MOSQUE (1680). On stylistic grounds it is suggested that the mosque was built sometime around 1680 AD. Dhaka, Bangladesh. April 7, 2007.
