It is the biggest mosque in KK and is perhaps one of the most beautiful in Malaysia-an amazing sight on a full moon night. Built in 1997 on a 1-ha site, the prayer hall can accommodate 9,000-12,000 people.



All Saints Cathedral

All Saints Cathedral in Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, which was designed by W.H. Kwan and completed in 1959, can seat about 800 worshippers.



Sacred Heart Cathedral

Completed in 1982, the Sacred Heart Cathedral is situated on the same site as the original church founded by the Mill Hill Brothers who also pioneered the Catholic mission schools in the state capital.



St Michaels Church Penampang

Father August Wachter initiated the building of St Michael's Church Penampang and the foundation stone was laid on 29th September 1936, which coincided with the Feast of St. Michael's. It took a long time to build because the solid rocks were taken from Dambai, about 2 km. from the church site. Rocks were dynamited, extracted, cut and shaped into sizes of one foot thick and three-feet in length. Buffaloes were used to transport the solid blocks of rocks. Construction stopped during World War II and resumed only in 1947. The Church was finally completed in 1949.

Puh Toh Tze Temple

Built in 1980, this Buddhist temple, situated offTuaran Road, has traditional Chinese roofing and structure. Ten large statues of deities, including Kwan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy stand at the main entrance of the temple. Prayers are held twice daily.

Peak Nam Tong Temple

Peak Nam Tong Temple off Penampang Road offers visitors the opportunity to view traditional Chinese architecture and rituals. Besides its lion dance troupe, which performs every Chinese New Year and on other special occasions, the temple also has a kindergarten. Believers attribute their success from the advice obtained from the Temple.

Sikh Temple

Built in 1924, the Gurdawara off Jalan Mat Salleh is one of five Sikh temples in Sabah. The temple is one of the few buildings in the state capital which survived World War II. Every year, Sikhs in Kota Kinabalu celebrate Visakhi (Sikh New Year) and Diwali (Festival of Light) at the Gurdawara.
