Seremban, State capital in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia
Seremban is an inland city in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, situated in the Linggi River valley at the edge of the Titiwangsa Mountains. It functions as the state capital and a regional hub for administration, commerce, and local agriculture.
The settlement began in the 1840s as a tin mining town called Sungei Ujong. After additional ore discoveries in the Rasah area during the 1870s, the town expanded significantly and developed into a regional center.
The city displays strong Minangkabau architectural influences through buildings with distinctive roofs shaped like buffalo horns, reflecting regional heritage. This building style shapes how the streets look and connects residents to their shared identity.
The city is well connected by major roads and easily reached from Kuala Lumpur. Visitors can find various accommodation and dining options, plus museums and parks to explore during their time here.
The State Museum, built in 1953, was constructed without nails using traditional techniques from Sumatra. This architectural detail makes the building a rare example of authentic handcrafted construction methods.
