Katra Masjid is an interesting mosque in Murshidabad. It is a large mosque that was fortified -- the corner minarets doubled as watchtowers with provisions for using arms against invaders.

| The interior courtyard in front of the mosque. The tower in the back lost its dome in an 1897 earthquake. |

| The passage between the mosque and the outer wall of the compound. |

| The other side of the left-hand wall faces the main street. The right-hand wall is the back of the mosque. |
