The
World Heritage Sites of Bangladesh
Though Bangladesh is a small country it has many heritage sites. The
historical Shat Gambuj Mosque of Bagerhat, the Buddist Vihara of Paharpur, the
longest sea-beach of the Bay
of Bengal of Chittagong and the Sundarbans are the most important of them.
The Shat Gambuj Mosque is situated in the district of Bagerhat. It is the 15th
century Islamic edifice founded by Saint Khan Jahan Ali. The ruins of the
Buddist Vihara is situated at Paharpur in the district of Rajshahi. It was
founded in the 7th century. It is the largest Buddist monastery in
the Indian subcontinent. It bears an archeological importance for its
historical and cultural value. Again Sundarbans is the most important world
heritage site in Bangladesh which is situated to the South of the country. The
Sundarban is famous for the Royal Bengal Tigers, deer and sundari trees. It is
the largest mangrove forest in the world. The sea-beach of the Bay of Bengal in Chittagong is also a world heritage site because it is the
longest sea coast in the world. We are lucky enough to have as many as four
world heritage sites in such a small country like ours. World heritage sites
are very important internationally. Tourist from abroad come to visit every
year. These world heritage sites are not only assets to our nation but also to
the whole world. The government should take proper care of the world heritage
sites in Bangladesh. The people of Bangladesh should protect the world heritage sites from being
decline or destruction.
