Bangabhaban, Presidential palace in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

The Bangabhaban stands on a 47-acre compound with high boundary walls, featuring a three-story palatial complex surrounded by gardens and greenery.

The location served as a residence for a Sufi saint during the sultanate period before becoming the Governor House during British colonial rule until 1947.

The palace architecture combines Mughal and British colonial elements, reflecting the historical influences that shaped Bangladesh's governmental buildings.

The palace contains multiple facilities including a cabinet room, banquet hall, state dining hall, and four suites designated for visiting foreign leaders.

A historic tank called Motijheel remains within the grounds, named after a tale of a noble's daughter who threw her jewels into its waters.
