About Sixty Dome Mosque, Bagerhat

The Sixty Dome Mosque in Bagerhat, in south-west Bangladesh, was built in the 15th century by Khan Jahan Ali, a ruler who founded a city here on the edge of the Sundarbans mangrove forest. Despite its name, the roof has 77 low domes, and four more crown the round towers at its corners; inside, 60 stone pillars hold them up. It is the largest historic mosque in Bangladesh and the centre of the Historic Mosque City of Bagerhat, a World Heritage Site since 1985. Its red-brick walls are seen here across a garden path.

Puzzle tip: the row of arches is a good guide across the middle; the lawn and the sky are best done last.
