Situated at Kumartoli along the banks of Buriganga river, this palace served as the official residence of the Nawab of Dhaka. Post the independence, the successors of the Nawab could not maintain the palace. It reflects the Indo- Saracenic architecture style and was built between the year 1859-1872. After being built by Sheikh Enayat Ullah back in the Mughal era, it was later sold off to the French traders. Today it stands as a national museum and has a lot of interesting history hidden behind it’s walls.
