Istana Lama, Former royal residence in Telok Blangah, Singapore.
The Istana Lama stood as a two-floor palace with Dutch-brick platform structures and an extensive drainage network across its 200-acre grounds.
Built in 1824 for Temenggong Abdul Rahman following the Treaty with Sir Stamford Raffles, the palace marked Singapore's recognition as a British settlement.
The palace represented the center of Malay nobility authority, where the Temenggong managed diplomatic relations and local governance during colonial times.
The site now houses the Harbourlights condominium, completed in 1997, with remnants of the original gate posts visible among the vegetation.
Between 1931 and World War II, the former royal palace operated as Hotel Bellevue after being leased to German proprietors.
