In its heyday, the 1897 the Moorish Sultan Abdul Samad Building served as government offices to the city. Under the careful care of Khazanah Nasional, it was very recently restored, now displaying its “blood and bricks walls”, arches and copper-clad domes in all its glory. For the full effect, enjoy the façade from the Merdeka Square, stroll its corridors and gardens, and stop for a drink in the café. Visit in the later morning or after 5pm to escape the hottest part of the day.
