The Royal Palace, Istana Negara or the National Palace is the official residence of His Majesty, Yang di-Pertuan Agong. Covering an area of 28 acres of land, it was built on the rolling green lands of Bukit Petaling looking at the Klang River. Originally constructed in 1928 by a Chinese millionaire, the site was the residence of the Sultan of Selangor till the modern government got established in 1957. Many historical ceremonies had taken place here like the royal pledge, installation ceremony and coronation too. One can visit the new RM 400 million Istana Negara complex built near to the Jalan Duta replacing the existing Royal Palace. The old building is a museum now, having various historic displays.
