Johor Grand Palace, Royal palace in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
The palace structure features a prominent blue-roofed dome that rises above white walls, overlooking the Straits of Johor with angular architectural lines.
Sultan Abu Bakar commissioned the construction of this palace in 1866, establishing it as the primary residence for the royal family of Johor.
The Royal Abu Bakar Museum within the palace exhibits a collection of treasured artifacts and heirlooms belonging to generations of Johor rulers.
The palace maintains restricted access, opening only for royal ceremonies, state functions, and official banquets throughout the calendar year.
The architectural design merges Anglo influences with Malay elements, resulting in a structure that differs from traditional Malaysian royal residences.
