BEST AESTHETIC SPOT IN KL 🇲🇾If you are a photography enthusiast or someone who really enjoys taking photos or videos, you must visit this place. This is the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The building was constructed in 1897 and named after Sultan Abdul Samad, who ruled Selangor from 1857 to 1898. The interior architectural style showcases the Islamic architecture of the Mughal Empire in India, while the exterior architectural style features European influences. Every corner of this place offers stunning photo backgrounds. I highly recommend that when you visit Kuala Lumpur, you don't miss out on this place. #malaysia #malaysiatrip #dataranmerdekaShaharasani3

The Icon of Kuala Lumpur Before Twin TowersLong time before Kuala Lumpur got its famous Petronas Twin Towers, the Sultan Abdul Samad Building was the icon of the city 🏙️ It stands as a testament to colonial architecture. Completed in 1897, it showcases Moorish-style design elements, featuring graceful arches, intricate details, and a prominent clock tower. Originally serving as the colonial government administrative center, it now houses the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia of Malaysia and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture. With its historical significance and stunning architecture, the Sultan Abdul Samad Building remains a symbol of Malaysia's rich heritage and cultural diversity. #winhkflightLdesierra Inma Von Parker1

It is one of the largest squares in the world. The square is home to buildings such as the National Monument of Malaysia. There are many historically valuable buildings around the square. The Sultan Abdul Samad Building overlooks Merdeka Square and is one of the most prominent landmarks built by the British. The design was inspired by Mughal architecture in India and was completed in 1897. It housed the Secretariat of Selangor and was later converted into the Supreme Court. After being abandoned for many years, it is now the site of the Ministry of Heritage, Culture, and Arts. Other notable buildings include the Tudor-styled Royal Selangor Club, the National History Museum (formerly the Chartered Bank Building), and the Memorial Library, as well as the Anglican St. Mary's Cathedral, a Gothic building over a hundred years old, and the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station.SeekingSerenity2

Dataran Merdeka!Independence Square (Malay: Dataran Merdeka) is a square located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is situated in front of the Sultan Abdul Samad Building. A historical place where Malaysia independent announced. On the midnight of 31 August 1957, the Union Jack went down and the Malayan Flag was raised here for the first time. This is also why the square is called Independence Square. Every year, the Independence Day celebrations are held here. Walk from petaling street about 15-20mins Will passby pasar seni. Happened to be closures of road (I visited during Sunday) Go there earlier to avoid the crowd and HOT SUNNY Weather. Too bad the night was raining day. Night with light, another type of beauty of it Jalan Raya, Kuala Lumpur Free admission #historicalwalk #BuildingOoottilie1
