Sixty Domes Mosque is an ancient mosque located in the southwest of Bagerhat district in Bangladesh. There is no inscription on the mosque. So no accurate information is available about who built it or at what time it was built. However, looking at the architectural style of the mosque, there is no doubt that it was built by Khan-i-Jahan. He is thought to have built it in the 15th century. This mosque was built over many years and at great expense. The stones were brought from the palace. It is located in one of the three World Heritage Sites in Bangladesh; The city of Bagerhat has been given the status of a World Heritage Site. This honor was conferred by UNESCO in 1973.
