বাঘা মসজিদ নির্মাণ করা হয়েছিল একটি বিশাল পুকুরের পশ্চিম তীরে যেটি ছিল ইট এবং দেয়ালে ঘেরা এবং এলাকাটির আয়তন ছিল ৪৮.৭৭ বর্গ মিটার। এটি রাজশাহীর অন্যতম পর্যটন আকর্ষণ। মসজিদের শিলালিপি থেকে জানা যায় যে খ্রিষ্টপূর্ব ১৯৩২ সালে সুলতান নুসরাত শাহ মসজিদটি নির্মাণ করেন। শুরুর দিকে মসজিদের ছাদে ১০ টির অধিক গম্বুজ থাকলেও পরবর্তীতে তা ধ্বংস হয়ে যায়। মসজিদটি ইট ও পাথর দিয়ে নির্মাণ করা হয়। ১৮৯৭ সালের ভুমিকম্পে সবকটি গম্বুজ ধ্বংস প্রাপ্ত হয়।

Dasbari Mosque is located close to Ompur in between Sona mosque and Kotowali Dorja. Generations of local people say it as Dasbari. It is an abandoned place now. According to an inscription in 1497 during the reign of Sultan Shamsuddin Yousuf this mosque was built.

No explanations are found regarding how this mosque was named. It is modeled after the Chamchika mosque in India. Like Dasbari this mosque is built with terracotta bricks. Its circumference is so thick that during the month of Chaitra when it is so hot outside but it remains cool inside. The main dome here looks pretty attractive. North to the mosque there is a Dighi whose volume is 60 bigha.
