• Padma Bridge - ✅ The Padma Multipurpose Bridge

The Padma Multipurpose Bridge is a two-level road-rail bridge spanning the Padma River, the main distributary of the Ganges in Bangladesh. The bridge was inaugurated on the morning of June 25, 2022.

The bridge is regarded as the most challenging construction project in Bangladesh’s history. This steel truss bridge supports a four-lane highway on its upper level and a single-track railway on its lower level. It comprises 41 sections, each 150.12 meters (492.5 feet) long and 22 meters (72 feet) wide, with a total length of 6.15 kilometers (3.82 miles). It is the longest bridge in Bangladesh and the longest bridge over the Padma River by both span and total length. It also features the deepest pile depth of any bridge in the world at 127 meters (417 feet). The construction was particularly challenging due to the width and depth of the Padma River.

• Mausoleum of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman - ✅ Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (March 17, 1920 – August 15, 1975), widely known by the honorific title Bangabandhu, was a Bangladeshi politician, revolutionary, statesman, activist, and diarist. Mujib held continuous positions as president or prime minister from April 1971 until August 1975: as President from 1971 to 1972 and briefly in 1975 until his death, and as Prime Minister. He successfully led the Bangladeshi independence movement and restored Bengali sovereignty after over two centuries following the Battle of Plassey in 1757, earning him the title ‘Father of the Nation’ in Bangladesh. After being released from Pakistan and returning to his homeland, he lived in his own house until August 15, 1975. On that day, some disgruntled army officers assassinated Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. His wife Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib, and his sons Sheikh Kamal, Sheikh Jamal, and Sheikh Russel were also killed in the attack on their residence.

• Shat Gambuj Mosque - ✅ The Sixty Dome Mosque is located in Bagerhat and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is the largest mosque in Bangladesh from the sultanate period (1352–1576). Built during the Bengal Sultanate by Khan Jahan Ali, it has been described as “one of the most impressive Muslim monuments in all of South Asia.” In the mid-15th century, a Muslim colony and the largest multi-domed mosque in Bangladesh were established. Construction of the mosque began in 1442 and was completed in 1459.

The ‘Sixty Dome’ Mosque features unusually thick, tapered brick walls in the Tughlaq style and a hut-shaped roofline that anticipates later styles. Its oblong plan measures 148’6” x 101’4” externally and 123’3” x 76’2” internally. There are 77 low domes arranged in seven rows of eleven, with an additional dome on each corner, bringing the total to 81 domes. The mosque has four towers. The interior is divided into many aisles and bays by slender columns, which culminate in numerous arches that support the roof.

• Tomb of Khan Jahan Ali - ✅ Also known as “Ulugh Khan,” suggesting Turkic origin, Khan Jahan was initially a noble under the Tughlaq Sultanate. He seems to have migrated to Bengal following the Capture of Delhi by the Timurid Empire led by Timur in 1398. After migrating to Bengal, Khan and his companions were welcomed by 12 Muslim saints to Champanagar, where he stayed for several years. He is credited with 126 dighis and mosques built during his stay, including Gorar, Golakata, Jor-Bangla, Pir Pukur, Satgachia, Monohar, Sukkur Mollick, Nungola, Pathagar, and Adina. Damdama and the dighis of Galakata and Saudagar can also be found here. Khan completed the road built by Ghazi, which originally went from Barobazar to Jessore, extending it to Bagerhat. He acquired a forest area in the Sundarbans as a jagir from Sultan Mahmud Shah of Bengal. The official title Khan-i-Azam was given to him, indicating he was an officer and local ruler under the Bengal Sultanate.
