    Personal highlights

    1. Mahasthan Garh: one of the earliest urban archeological sites in Bangladeshinfo-icon
    2. Museum: comparably small for the archeological importance of the site
    3. Citadel: most visible remains, just looks like grass overground mound
    4. History: inhabited from the 3rd century BC until the 18th century AD!
    5. Impression: there is not much to see but ancient history lies in the air
