Built by Nawab Murshid Quli Khan (reign: 1717 -27) in 1723 AD. It is damaged but well maintained. The main mosque had five domes, out of which two collapsed in the earthquake of 1897. Many of the buildings in and around the mosque also collapsed during the earthquake. 2000 people could offer prayers in the mosque at the same time.
The Katra Masjid is a former Shia caravanserai, mosque and tomb, in a partial ruinous state, located in the north eastern side of the city of Murshidabad, in the state of West Bengal, India. The complex contains the tomb of its founder, Nawab Murshid Quli Khan, and is one of the largest caravanserais in the Indian subcontinent, with capacity for 700 readers at any one time. Built in 1137 AH (1724/1725 CE), when the early modern Bengal Subah was a major hub of trade in Eurasia, the most striking feature of the structure are the two large corner towers having loopholes for musketry. The structure was significantly damaged by the 1897 Indian earthquake.

An abandoned mosque, with only two of its five domes being completed. Sarfaraz Khan (reign: 1739-40) started its construction in 1740, but after his defeat and death, the construction was abandoned and ever since then the mosque lies in that same state. It is 135 feet long and 38 feet broad. The centre of the western wall houses a triple mihrab.
Destroyer of the World
The Topekhana was to the south-east of the Katra Masjid, and there still is a huge cannon named Jahan Kosha (Destroyer of the World), which is said to have been brought from Dhaka when Mushid Quli Khan shifted his capital.
The triple arched gate is topped with a nahabatkhana. The arches are high enough to let elephant pass. It was built by Nawab Shuja Uddin Khan who succeeded Murshid Quli Khan.
