Beside the Dhaka University, the Shahid Minar is a symbol of pride and honour for the heros given their life for Mother Language. The place is very exciting to encourage all ages and specially for young and youth. The history of 1952, the language movement and later the recognition of 21 Feb as International Mother Language Day all symbolized from this monument. A must... must and must see for anyone

National Parliament House

Reviewed By Kshf_C - Dhaka City, Bangladesh

The National Assembly building complex in Dhaka designed by the American architect Louis Kahn (Kimbell Art Museum, Texas; Art galleries in Yale) from 1963 till his death in 1974 and finally inaugurated in 1983, is widely considered one of the masterpieces of architecture of the 20th century. While from the outside it is very impressive, the real drama unfolds in the interiors, where a 100 feet high space bathed in light from various angles, and animated by ramps, bridges and other elements, wrap around the central chamber which itself is awe-inspiring. There is a visitors section at the Assembly building which conducts guided visits (passports required, no phones, no photos) usually from 10am except weekends, without any prior permission. They can also take visitors to see some of the adjoining buildings. Call in advance to avoid disappointment, for a visit to remember. Very highly recommended.
