Mahamariamman Temple

This is the oldest Hindu temple in Penang dating all the way back to 1833 and is adorned with many sculptures.

Nearby is Little Indian, a collection of shopping areas that brim with Indian culture and noise.

Fort Cornwallis

Cornwallis was an ancient fort built by Francis Light, the founder of Penang, on the spot where he landed in 1786.

It was originally built as a wooden stockade by convicts, receiving concrete upgrades through time. Today, the fort has been converted into an open-air park complete with amphitheatre, a history gallery, cafes, and souvenir shops.

There are also a few cannons sitting around, the most famous being Seri Rambai, reputedly having mystical powers.
