This walk leads you to explore and experience five historical religious sites in the heritage enclave of George Town, namely the Goddess of Mercy Temple, Acheen Street Mosque, Kapitan Keling Mosque, Church of St George the Martyr, and Sri Maha Mariamman Temple. Within each religious compound, the residents socialized, obtained spiritual education, and practiced acts of welfare and charity, and found solace. The built and living environment within each compound ensures the continuity of each community’s beliefs, rituals, language, philosophy, aesthetics and values.
