Exterior of Kapitan Keling Mosque at sunrise on Harmony Street (also known as Pitt Street). Harmony Street got its name because an Indian temple, mosque and Catholic church are also located on the same street. Kapitan Keling Mosque is the largest and one of the oldest historic mosques in town, founded before 1800. The Kapitan Keling Mosque was first erected by the troops of the East India Company who were some of Penang’s first Muslim settlers. The Kapitan of the Indian Muslim settlers, Cauder Mydin Merican also referred to as ‘Kapitan Kelingâ was credited with the founding of the mosque that was subsequently named after him.
