Istana Kehakiman

Malaysia


One of the most impressive photo ops in Putrajaya is the five-storey Palace of Justice. Its central domes and tall archways represent a union of styles, from neoclassical and Mogul to Indo-Saracenic (an echo of the Sultan Abdul Samad Building in Merdeka Sq in Kuala Lumpur, which it was designed to replace).

Admire from the outside only.
