Azimpur Mosque ({{langx|bn|আজিমপুর মসজিদ}}) is located beside the Azimpur graveyard in Dhaka. A Persian inscription in the mosque indicates that the mosque was built in 1746 AD by Fayzul Alam. The mosque was built during the reign of Mughal Nawab Alivardi Khan and is the last existing example of a mosque structure with a single dome and a flanking half-domed vault on both sides.
