The Star Pitt Street - Known as the ‘Street of Harmony,’ Pitt Street was built in the 18th century and stands as a testament to Malaysia’s diverse culture. This street features four significant religious buildings: the Goddess of Mercy Temple, Kapitan Keling Mosque, Sri Mariamman Temple, and St George’s Church. The presence of these buildings indicates that the area was historically open to various communities from around the world.
