Chempittapally (Bengali: চেম্পিত্তাপল্লী মসজিদ, romanized: Chempitta Palli, lit.'Bronze Mosque'; Arabic: مسجد شمبتابالي), also known as Chembitta Palli and as Chembittapally Juma Masjid, is a Sifi Friday mosque in the Mattancherry neighbourhood, in Kochangadi, Kochi, in the Ernakulam district of the state of Kerala, India. Built between 1520 and 1540, the roof of the mosque was decorated with copper tiles, hence chempitta pally. The mosque was built in the Kerala-Islamic style, and is located within a heritage area, near the MANI-listed Mattancherry Palace.
