Alor Setar Heritage District

The Alor Setar Heritage District, located in the heart of Kedah’s capital, offers a captivating glimpse into the city’s rich history, culture, and architecture. Centered around the majestic Masjid Zahir, one of Malaysia’s oldest and most beautiful mosques, the district is home to a collection of well-preserved colonial and traditional Malay buildings that reflect the city’s royal and cultural legacy. Strolling through the area, visitors will encounter landmarks such as the Clock Tower and also the Balai Besar, a grand wooden hall once used for royal ceremonies, and the stately Balai Nobat, which houses ancient royal musical instruments. Nearby, the Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah Gallery showcases Kedah’s royal heritage, while the Kedah State Museum offers deeper insights into local history and traditions. The Proclamation of Independence Memorial, housed in a historic building, commemorates Malaysia’s journey to nationhood. #hellohalloween #heritage #mosque #masjid #clocktower #museum #alorsetar #kedah
