Masjid Mukim Kongsi, Balik Pulau

Masjid Mukim Kongsi (29 January 2005)


Masjid Mukim Kongsi (GPS: 5.34847, 100.23216), or by its official name Masjid At-Taqwa, is the old mosque of Balik Pulau. It is located within the district of Kongsi, which includes the Balik Pulau town centre.

I have photographed Masjid Mukim Kongsi a few times, because I find it to be a very charming mosque built many years ago, before mosques became larger but less endearing. Further down the same road are two more mosques, both bigger than this charming structure.
