Dhaka Bangladesh


Dhaka is the capital and largest city of Bangladesh. During the Bangladesh war of independence in 1971 the city suffered a heavy damage. In 1982 the spelling was changed from 'Dacca' to 'Dhaka'. Dhaka is located in the geographic center of the country.

The Muslim influence is reflected in the more than 700 mosques and historic buildings found throughout the city. The University of Dhaka (1921) and several technical schools and museums are located here.
