Chittagong, the second largest city and main port of Bangladesh, was home to a thriving trading post of the Portuguese Empire in the East in the 16th and 17th centuries.[1] The Portuguese first arrived in Chittagong around 1528[2] and left in 1666[3] after the Mughal conquest.[4] It was the first European colonial enclave in the historic region of Bengal.[5]
