Kapitan Keling Mosque is a prominent landmark built in the early 1800s by Indian Muslim traders. Its architecture blends Mughal and Islamic styles, with a large prayer hall, minarets, and a central dome. Visitors can enter the peaceful courtyard and admire the whitewashed facade, but must dress modestly. The mosque remains an active place of worship, reflecting Penang's multicultural heritage.
