This, along with Kherua Mosque in Sherpur (both built in 1582), mark the two earliest existing monuments of Mughal Bengal. Its three-dome style is reminiscent of the style of the mosque adjacent to the Taj Mahal or Musalla at Mashad. Terracotta ornamentations also worth seeing.

1.1 mile railway bridge named in honor of Lord Hardinge, British viceroy of India. Sustained damage during the Liberation War of Bangladesh of 1971. Its truss style sits alongside the Lalon Shah Bridge built in 2004 over the Padma River (main channel of the Ganges). They are both the 2nd longest bridges (railway/roadway) in Bangladesh and are quite an engineering marvel.
