Istana Kampong Glam

Istana Kampong Glam, a former Malay palace in Singapore, is a historical site located near the iconic Masjid Sultan. Originally built in 1819 by Sultan Hussein Shah of Johor, the palace has undergone significant transformations, with the current structure completed in 1843. Its architecture blends Palladian style with traditional Malay motifs, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region. The palace was refurbished into the Malay Heritage Centre in 2004 and was designated a national monument in 2015, making it a key attraction for tourists and researchers interested in Singapore's history and Malay culture.
