Choto Sona Mosque, Sultana mosque in Chapai Nawabganj District, Bangladesh.

The Sona Mosque features fifteen domes and covers an area of 42 meters from east to west and 43.5 meters from north to south.

Sultan Alauddin Husain Shah commissioned the construction of this mosque between 1493 and 1519, marking a period of architectural advancement in Bengal.

The mosque walls incorporate grey granite tiles and contain five mihrabs on the west wall, representing traditional Islamic architectural elements of Bangladesh.

Visitors can reach the mosque by taking a one-hour bus or auto-rickshaw ride from Chapai Nawabganj city, covering approximately 35 kilometers.

The fifteen domes of this religious structure were originally covered in gold, which inspired its name Choto Sona Masjid, meaning Small Golden Mosque.
