Kapitan Keling Mosque, Penang
I am not too sure if non-Muslims are allowed in the mosque grounds.
Below are some info of the Kapitan Keling Mosque:
The Kapitan Keling Mosque is Penang’s first-ever mosque built in the 19th century. This is the largest historic mosque in George Town, founded around 1800. A monumental structure surrounded by low walls and crowned with Moghul-style copper domes, the mosque was named after the head of the Indian Muslim community back then, Cauder Maydin Merican. It was originally built as a rectangular building with verandahs and a hipped roof and had been enlarged several times. British architects commissioned by the Muslim and Hindu Endowments Board gave the mosque its British Moghul Revival appearance in 1916.
