The Daffa-i Kadimah, also known as the Old Mosque, is a historical mosque located in the Old City of Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is one of the oldest mosques in the country and is believed to have been built during the reign of Sultan Alauddin Masud Shah (1352-1369 AD). The mosque is named 'Daffa' due to its location near a large earthen mound or 'daffa' where the bodies of Muslim soldiers were buried after the Battle of Lakhnauti in 1570 AD.
