Bangla Bazar (Bengali:বাংলা বাজার) is the oldest neighbourhood ofDhaka, which existed beforeMughal Period.[1] Currently, the largestpublication and book market of Dhaka is located in the area.
Some historians think that Bangla Bazar was the center of the 'Bangala' city mentioned by many travelers. Some others think that Bangla Bazar was established in Sultani period when the word 'Bangala' became popular.[1] A Roman citizen wrote in 1506 AD that the finest silk and yarn in the world was produced in Bengal.
