Istana Alam Shah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The palace of the Sultan of Selangor in Klang

Istana Alam Shah is the official palace of the Sultan of Selangor, located in southern Klang, the royal town of the state of Selangor, Malaysia.

The palace was built in 1905 during the rule of Sultan Sir Alaeddin Sulaiman Shah, who was the fifth Sultan of Selangor. The Sultan went on to live in the palace for 35 years until his death in 1938. It was also here that the 7th Sultan, Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, was born.

Despite the Sultan having two other official residences in Shah Alam and Putrajaya, most royal ceremonies (such as the coronation of a new Sultan) involving the Selangor royal family are held in Istana Alam Shah.[1]

The palace has 15 rooms and was built using wood and marble. In early 2000, extensive renovations were carried out by the then Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah.
