Sultan's Palace
Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia
Description:
Istana Maimun (Sultan's Palace) is located in Medan, on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Like the Masjid Raya (Great Mosque), it is a popular site for tourists and explorers, as well as an architectural and historical monument of the city. The palace was built in the Italian Rococo style in 1888.
The palace is considered the most pompous architectural structure of Medan and is a representative building of the colonial era. It is perfectly preserved and periodically restored, so it has not only historical, but also aesthetic value, as a carrier of a combination of elements of different cultures.
In the souvenir shop of the palace there is a wide selection of jewelry from local manufacturers, where each visitor can choose a decoration that conveys all the richness of the local color. The jewelry is made in the traditional style for Indonesia and can become a wonderful souvenir to remember your arrival in Medan.
