Andarqilla Shahi Jame Masjid was built after the conquest of Chittagong by the Mughals in 1666, on a small hill about 10 m above the plain. The architecture and structure of the mosque are made according to the Mughal style. According to the design of the original mosque, it is 16 m long, 6.9 m wide, and each wall is about 2.2 m thick. The western wall is made of burnt mud and the remaining three walls are made of stone. The roof is covered by a large dome in the middle and two smaller domes. Of its four octagonal towers, built in 1666, the rear two now exist. As the mosque is almost a reflection of the historical Jama Masjid of Delhi in terms of construction strategy, it gave birth to a new dimension in the development of Muslim architecture in the Chittagong region. This mosque is also called a stone mosque - "Jame Sangin" because it is built using large stones like Delhi's Jama Masjid.
