Visit Lalbag Fort, a 17th century Mughal complex that remains unfinished, but still popular. Although a Mughal prince, who later became emperor, began construction on the fort, the prince was then called to the capital Delhi by his father and construction was never completed. Nonetheless, visitors still flock here to observe its old architecture or to attend prayer at the mosque, which remains in use. At the mosque, admire Islamic art and wall designs, then head out to find a tomb and a palace in the larger fort complex. Consider visiting at night to catch the light show.

A great historical place. It has a large space. You can admire the beautiful flower garden. There's also place to pray. The women's place is very small and dark. There are also washrooms.

A wonderful green oasis in the heart of Old Town Dhaka. Historic place, beautifully maintained gardens, amazing architecture. And so far away from the city's noise! In my eyes one of the must-sees in Bangladesh's capital. Spent there two and a half hours during my last stay in Dhaka. Look forward to enjoying it again next time.

Beautiful place. Although most of the sites this time were closed and entrance not allowed. The pieces are enclosed and one can see very few things from outside. Yet it is still an amazing place to observe the architectural reignment. I literally felt pulled back to those days when the walls were fortified and protected by guards and the interior that had gardens and pools.
