Istana Iskandariah, Royal palace in Kuala Kangsar, Malaysia
Istana Iskandariah stands on Bukit Chandan hill, featuring a rectangular structure with one main dome and four subsidiary domes across three floors.
The palace, completed in 1933, replaced the previous State Palace after the devastating flood of 1926 prompted relocation to higher ground.
The installation ceremonies of all Perak Sultans since 1933 have taken place within this palace, maintaining royal traditions and protocols.
Visitors can observe the palace exterior and its ornate entrance gates from the roadside, while the adjacent royal gallery offers public access.
The architectural design combines colonial European elements with pointed arches and onion-shaped domes, spanning an area of 10,435 square meters.
