4.0 Bagha Mosque (16 reviews)
- Bagha Shahi Mosque
Religious Sites

The mosque is noteworthy for its exquisite terracotta ornamentation. It is interesting to note that the additional prayer chamber created by means of a raised platform in the north-west corner within the building appears to have been an exclusive gallery for the governor who ruled the area as a nominee of the reigning sultan. This sort of special prayer chamber, noticed in some other Bengal mosques, appears to have been meant as a substitute of maqsura (Maqsurah (Arabic مقصورة) (literally "closed-off space"), an enclosure, a box or wooden screen near the mihrab or the center of theqibla wall)- a feature introduced in the mosque architecture of early Islam for the safety of the caliphs. This particular feature of the Bagha mosque has given it the status of a Jami mosque. See more..

2.0 Mohammad Ali Palace Museum and Park (1 review)
- Crumbling Palace and Exhibits
Historic Sites
There are very few restored palaces that one can visit in Bangladesh. This palace held promise to allow you to see the lifestyle of a bygone era. Unfortunately, the building itself looks like it will fall down any minute. It is surrounded by a rusting amusement complex. The furnishings and displays are dusty, crumbling and laughable. There are "wax figures" to illustrate what life was like. Unfortunately, the figures look like they should be buried. There's not much to see in Bogra town. Skip this. See more..
