Kapitan Keling Mosque in Georgetown Penang Malaysia
The Kapitan Keling Mosque in George Town Penang, is a good example of Indian Muslim architecture, with the original building dating back to the 19th century, when early Indian Muslim traders to the island, built the first small single storey brick mosque here. Over the years the original mosque has been expanded many times into what is seen here today, the largest mosque in George Town Penang. If you would like to visit the mosque, it is open to the public and non Muslims, although the worship hall is out of bounds to non Muslims. Free guided tours are operated by the Islamic Propagation Society. If you are interested on taking one, just head for the minaret at the front of the building, where there is an information office. All visitors are required to wear robes, which are supplied for you.
