Chempittapally is an old mosque in West Kochi in Kerala State, India. The name "Chempittapally" is derived from the Malayalam word "chemp" (means bronze) and "palli" (means mosque). The roof of this famous mosque was decorated with bronze tiles, hence chempitta pally. The compound has 3 gates; one in west which opens way to Panayapilly, second in south which opens way to Goldenmukku and Kochangadi, and the main gate in the eastern side of compound, which opens way to Angadi, which inturn leads the way to Jew Street and Mattancherry Bazaar towards the north and to Chullickal towards south.
