== History ==<br />
It was completed in 1545.<br />
<br />
==Architecture==<br />
Built in Afghan architectural style, it is one of the many historic mosques in [[India]] and a landmark in [[Patna]]. There is a tomb inside the complex of the mosque which is covered by an [[octagon]]al stone slab. But the star attraction of the Sher Shah Suri Masjid is its central [[dome]] which lies in the middle of the roof and is surrounded by Four small domes. The unique part of this design is that if you view from any angle there appears to be only three domes.<ref name="patna.bih.nic.in"/><br />
