Masjid Panglima Kinta (GPS: 4.59342, 101.08063) is an old mosque located on the east bank of the Kinta river right after Hugh Low Bridge. Work on the mosque began in 1898. It was built by Dato' Panglima Kinta Muhammad Yusuff in memory of his wife who passed away that year. It was one of the most beautiful and largest mosques in Ipoh when it was completed. The mosque has two minarets and a central dome. Recent restoration work has regilded the dome.
