Description
Visitors will love this distinctive landmark in KL, the Sultan Abdul Samad Building. Moorish in design, this building, completed in 1897, was formerly the seat of the British colonial government and now houses the Malaysia Supreme and High Courts. This is the most photographed building in the city, with a 40 metre clock tower affectionately dubbed 'Big Ben', topped with a golden dome and flanked on both sides by two domed towers. During state occasions, coloured lights twinkle in the arches, making it look like a scene from an Arabian Nights' tale.
