Keramat Iskandar Shah, located at Fort Canning Hill in Singapore, is a historical monument believed to be the burial site of the semi-legendary Malay king Iskandar Shah, although this claim is debated among historians. Originally a religious shrine, it has transformed into a pavilion-like structure, with its current form established in the 1990s. The site features a stone cenotaph on a raised platform and has undergone various changes since its discovery in the early 19th century. Archaeological excavations have revealed artifacts from the Tang dynasty, adding to its historical significance. Today, the site serves as a monument rather than a place of worship, attracting tourists and researchers interested in Singapore's rich cultural heritage.
