Adina Masjid - 20 kilometres North from the district town Malda towards Gazole. Built in 1369 by Sultan Sikander Shah, the second sultan of the Ilyas dynasty, the Adina mosque is one of the largest mosques to be built in the subcontinent and the only hypostyle mosque in Bengal. Located twelve miles from the town of Malda and along a major road leading to North Bengal, the sultan probably built it as a visual proclamation of his victory over the Delhi ruler, Firuz Shah Tughluq. The mosque is mostly in ruins today following the damages sustained during the earthquakes in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
