ISTANA ISKANDARIA
This palace was built in 1933 after the royal palace was destroyed in the floods of 1926. The sultan chose a new location, a little further from the river and therefore less exposed to disasters. It faces the Istana Kenagan, which served as a temporary residence for the royal family. The immense building blends Western and Eastern influences: a rectangular floor plan and large bulbous domes. The palace was extended in 1984. More than a hectare was added to accommodate garages, a banquet hall and a new throne room.
