'Heritage' is what we inherit from the past,live with them in the present and then pass on to our children or future generation. Our unique source of life and inspiration is our cultural and natural heritage. When we speak of 'World Heritage',it indicates places and site that we got from the past and pass on to the future generation of the entire world.

Originally, the historic Mosque City was known as 'Khalifatabad'.It is situated at the outskirts of Bagerhat town---not very far from the dense mangrove forest of the Sundarbans.Khalifatabad was a Muslim colony.It was founded by rhe Turkish general, a saint warrior Ulugh Khan Jahan in the 15th century. The infrastructure of the city reveals significant technical skills in many mosques as well as early Islamic monuments. Baked bricks were used for the construction of the buildings. The planning of the city was distinctly dominated by Islamic architecture and the decorations were a combination of Mughal and Turkish architecture.

Khan Jahan built a network of roads, bridges,public buildings and reservoirs to make the city habitable. There were about 360 mosques in the city.Among them the most remarkable is the multi-domed Shat Gombuj Mosque. The mosque is unique in the sense that it has 60 pillars that support the roof,with 77 low height domes.The 4 towers at 4 corners  have smaller domes on the roof as well.The vast prayer hall has 11 arched doorways on the east and 7 each on the north and south for light and ventilation. It has 7 aisles running along the length of the mosque and 11 deep curves between the slender stone columns. These columns support the curving arches created by the domes.The thickness of the arches is 6 feet and have slightly narrowing hollow and round wall.
