The maimun palace is rich in history

Hay's best friend steemians ,, on our holiday trip yesterday, we visited one of the very historic places in MEDAN city named maimun palace.

Maimun Palace is the palace of the Sultanate of Deli which is one of the icons of Medan, North Sumatra, located at Brigadier General Katamso Street, Sukaraja Sub-district, Medan Maimun Sub-district.

Designed by Italian architect and built by Sultan Deli, Sultan Mahmud Al Rashid. Construction of the palace was started from 26 August 1888 and was completed on May 18, 1891. Maimun palace has an area of ​​2,772 m2 and 30 rooms. Maimun palace consists of 2 floors and has 3 parts of the main building, left wing building and right wing building. The palace is facing north and on the front side of the building Masjid Al-Mashun or better known as the Great Mosque of Medan.

Maimun Palace became a tourist destination not only because of its old age, but also its unique interior design, combining elements of Malay cultural heritage, with Islamic, Spanish, Indian and Italian styles. But unfortunately, this tourist spot is not free from the area of ​​street vendors.
