Create an itinerary including Sultan Abdul Samad Building

The photogenic Sultan Abdul Samad Building features a design strongly influenced by the Moorish and Mughal building styles. Designed by British architect A.C. Norman and completed in 1897, the structure initially housed several departments of the British colonial administration and later served as a federal court of independent Malaysia. The building overlooks a square where the national flag was hoisted for the first time after the country gained its independence. Today, a 95 m (312 ft) flagpole marks this historic spot.

A very majestic looking building especially during nighttime. Such a stunning view to look at and beautiful to take pics of. A very nostalgic moment while visiting this place. Definitely a must visit atleast once!

Gorgeous 1800s government building featuring copper domes & a large clocktower with a 1-ton bell. The entire compound makes for a pleasant stroll where you can admire moorish-style tile patterns and intricate windows and stairs.
