Around Alor Setar


From Gunung Keriang we went to Alor Setar city centre and stopped at the Alor Setar tower...



Around here are a number of historical buildings. Among it is the Sultan Abdul Hamid gallery which used to be the Alor Setar high court.



In the middle of this picture is the Balai Nobat, the place for keeping royal instruments.


Hmm... these should be some monuments build it time for the proclamation of Alor Setar as a city 2003.



This is the Balai Besar, the hall for public functions built in 1735, the same year Alor Setar was made the Kedah centre of administration.




And this is the Masjid Zahir, the royal mosque built a century ago. For old articles related to or on Alor Setar check out these...
