This is the second largest dome in the world and was built by Yaqut of Dabul, the renowned architect under the patronage of Mohammed Adil shah.
The room is an architectural marvel. The dome has been erected without the help of any pillars. There are four minarets with stairs that lead to the dome from where a magnificent view of the town can be seen.
The most unique feature of the structure is the whispering gallery. Even the tiniest of sounds get echoed several times in the gallery.
It is a must see tourist spot and is 2 km away from Bijapur.
