Lattan Mosque
লোটন মসজিদ
One of Gaur's best-preserved glazed-tile mosques, with blue, green and yellow glazed tile remnants on its exterior, said to have been built by a dancing girl.
The Lattan Mosque (also known as the Lottan Mosque) was built around 1475. Legend says it was funded by a dancer favoured by the sultan, so it is also called the “Dancing Girl Mosque”. The building has a square main hall with a single dome and a front porch on the east side. Its greatest feature is that its outer walls were once covered in coloured glazed tiles; fragments of blue, green, yellow and white glazed tiles can still be seen, setting it apart from Gaur's many red-brick ruins. It lies southeast of the citadel area, near the Chamkati Masjid, and admission is free.
