Rose Garden Palace
রোজ গার্ডেন প্যালেস
An Italianate palace built by a landowner in the 1930s, with a white Corinthian colonnade and fountain gardens, once used as a filming location for several films.
Rose Garden Palace was built in 1931 as a private palace by the wealthy merchant Hrishi Chandra Basak for hosting parties. Its white façade, Corinthian columns, statues and fountain gardens show a strong Italian Baroque influence. In 1949, the Awami League was founded here. The government purchased the palace in 2018 and planned to convert it into a museum, so opening arrangements have changed several times. Please check before you go. It is located in Tikatuli in Old Dhaka, about 3 km from Sadarghat.
