St George's Church, Georgetown, Penang Malaysia

Built by convicts back in 1816, Penang's St George's Church is South-East Asia's oldest Anglican Church. Even through all these years, the original structure of the building hasn't altered much, and the walls haven't weathered much either. One of Penang's most beautiful heritage landmarks, the most striking features of the church are the huge Grecian columns that stand outside the building. Since its conception in the 19th century, it has been holding regular services. A grand Francis Light memorial sits in front of the church, a tribute to the man who had established the island in 1786.

How to get there: Located on the corner of Lebuh Farquhar and Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling. Take Rapid Penang Bus No. 103, 204, or 502.
