What you can see and do

This small single-domed mosque in Goaldi village, Sonargaon, was built in 1519 under Sultan Alauddin Husain Shah and is one of the few Sultanate buildings left in the old capital. The carved stone mihrab and terracotta work on the walls deserve a close look. You can walk here along village paths from Panam Nagar.

How to get there

Take a rickshaw from Mograpara crossing in Sonargaon, past Panam Nagar, to Goaldi village.

Safety notes

Dress modestly at a place of worship, keep quiet during prayers and ask before taking photographs.
