This former royal palace, also known as Istana Kota and Istana Hulu, is a showy mash-up of Renaissance, neoclassical and Moorish styles. Completed in 1903 its marbled hallways now host exhibitions honouring the life of the 34th sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah. Formerly known as Istana Hulu, it is the first concrete palace to be built in Perak state. Completed in 1903, it was occupied by the previous sultans of the state until it was converted into a school in 1957. In 2003, the building was officially opened as the Sultan Azlan Shah Gallery.
