Introduction


据说是信仰伊斯兰教的印度商人Oaudeer Mohoudeen于1800年代建造,位于Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling。奶油色圆形屋顶和带房檐的高塔交相辉映,十分壮美。异教徒也可以进入,但服装要整洁,并且必须得到清真寺办公室同意后,脱了鞋方能进入。

This is Penang's first mosque, built around 1800 to replace an old attap structure that had been constructed in 1786 by an Indian Muslim merchant, Cauder Mohideen who was then the `Kling Kapitan' (Indian Muslim Headsman). Its dome shaped and well placed minaret reflects Islamic architecture of Indian influence. It is painted ochre yellow and has a green roof. Located in Pitt Street.
