Istana Maziah, Royal palace in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia.
The Istana Maziah stands at the base of Bukit Puteri, featuring tall shuttered windows and coffee brown exterior walls reflecting French architectural elements.
The palace construction began in 1897 under Sultan Zainal Abidin III to replace Istana Hijau, which had burned down, and was officially inaugurated in 1903.
The palace demonstrates Malaysian craftsmanship through its design, created by twenty Malay and Chinese artisans who incorporated traditional woodwork from Dungun.
While interior access remains restricted to official events, visitors can photograph the exterior and explore the mini-park Dataran Maziah in front of the building.
The initial construction used an unusual mixture of chalk, clay, salt, egg yolk, and sugar as building materials to create the foundation.
