The Penang State Mosque or Masjid Negeri Pulau Pinang, is located on the junction of Jalan Air Itam and Jalan Mesjid Negeri. It was designed by a Brazillian architect, Oscar Niemeyer, who also designed the Brazilian national cathedral in Brasilia, Brazil. It was constructed in the 1970s, bearing Western Modernist as well as Malay elements in the design. The onion-shaped domes were designed by a Filipino architect. The state mosque occupies a 4.5 ha site. It took four years to build, and can accommodate 5,000 worshippers at one sitting, making it the biggest mosque in Penang.
