Penang State Mosque, Modern mosque in George Town, Malaysia
The concrete structure with its single minaret stands at the intersection of Jalan Masjid Negeri and combines Western modernist architectural elements.
The construction began in 1977 under Governor Tun Sardon Jubir and reached completion in 1980 when Sultan Ahmad Shah of Pahang inaugurated the building.
The mosque functions as the main Islamic center in Penang, hosting religious ceremonies and educational programs for the Muslim community.
Visitors can access the mosque daily, with guided tours available, while photography is permitted in designated areas of the complex.
Filipino architect Efren Brindez Paz designed this religious building drawing inspiration from Oscar Niemeyer's Cathedral of Brasília in South America.
