Alor Setar Balai Besar - Alor Setar

Favorite thing: This important royal building "Balai Besar" (Big Hall) was built in 1898 with Malay typical staircase and Thai influenced architecture and English wrought iron design.

It is still used for important state functions and royal ceremonies.

Balai Besar is located in the middle of downtown Alor Setar in a park and opposite the famous Zahir Mosque.

At one time it was also a State Museum but there is no a new State Museum near the City Stadium.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
