Bangladesh: 201 Dome Mosque

This is a total jewel of an attraction although it’s not historic or heritage. The 201 Dome Mosque aka 201 Gombuj Masjid, is a striking architectural marvel located in South Pathalia village, about 140km from Dhaka. Or was built between 2013-2019. The mosque has a lte central dome, eight slender minarets, and 200 (yes that’s the right number!) small domes all around the central one. You can walk onto the room and even go up in the minters for absolute stunning views. The mosque is in the Guinness World Records book for the number of domes. Getting here requires a river crossing standing in an absolutely overcrowded small wooden boat pulled by hands – enjoy the view but be ready to swim.
