You'll probably see Cathedral of the Assumption across town before you actually find this incredible religious building. Peek inside if the doors are open or just appreciate the facade from the street.

This principal church is in Downtown George Town, a place that has so much on offer! Kek Lok Si Temple, Penang Hill, and Pinang Peranakan Mansion are other worthwhile sightseeing opportunities nearby when you've finished up at Cathedral of the Assumption.
