Sultan Abdul Samad Building is a Moorish-style building set amidst Merdeka Square and the Royal Selangor Club in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A haven for history and architecture lovers, this significant piece of art is a blend of red bricks, vibrant porch, breath-taking arches, copper domes, and a sky-high clock tower.
Originally designed by two of the finest architectural brains of all time, Mr. A.C Norman and A.B Hubbock, Sultan Abdul Samad Building speaks of grandness in every sense of the word. The main purpose behind the construction of this building was to dedicate the same to the Sultan of Selangor.
However, a few years after its construction, this monument became a distinguished landmark for many legal luminaries. It served as a popular place for superior courts, the Federal Courts, the Courts of Appeal, and the High Courts of Malaysia. These courts were later moved to Putrajaya. Today, it is home to the Ministry of Information, Communications, and Culture of Malaysia.
The significance of Sultan Abdul Samad Building is not only restricted to historically-rich architecture and political arena. Its aesthetic beauty blends quite uniquely with its aura, which makes this building quite a tourist attraction. In fact, there is a constant influx of tourists moving in-and-out of its premises.
With over a century of rich history, the Sultan Abdul Samad Building has been an inextricable part of Kuala Lumpur and it will continue to remain so for the years to come.
