The Old Kota Mosque is a unique 6-sided structure at the junction of Jalan Kota and Jalan Masjid in Taiping. Originally built by the Hanafi sect of Indian Muslims in 1897, the mosque was given over to the Malay community around the turn of the 20th century. From then on, it was regarded as a Malay mosque, even given the name Masjid Melayu.
