Hang Jebat Mausoleum, Mausoleum in Melaka, Malaysia.
Hang Jebat Mausoleum is a grave in Kampung Pali, on Jalan Gelanggang in Melaka, within the UNESCO World Heritage conservation zone. The tomb is built in Acehnese style, of the stone type used for the graves of senior ministers or sultans of the Malacca Sultanate, and is surrounded by other unnamed old tombs.
The grave's age is unknown, but it predates the Portuguese capture of Melaka in 1511. Malay tradition links it to Hang Jebat, one of the five warriors in the Hikayat Hang Tuah. The Sulalatus Salatin says his body was thrown into the sea, while the Hikayat Hang Tuah says it was hung at a crossroads for seven days. A 1966 Berita Harian report described the grave as overgrown with tall grass and cracked cement.
