New visit to old Johor

Going outside the town of Kota Tinggi but still within district with the same name. Continuing from New visit to the tombs at Jalan Makam.

We move on to an area called Johor Lama about 40 km from Kota Tinggi town. The name Johor Lama literarily means old Johor. It is because it used to be the old administrative centre of the state of Johor.

Here lies the museum of Kota (fort of) Johor Lama.

Like the last few places shown in this blogspot, I have been here before.

Thus I have shared some information on the place in the blogspot SENI LAMA MELAYU (MALAY OLDEN ART). Look at the article Muzium (Museum of) Johor Lama.

In front of the museum lies an old fort built almost 500 years ago. Look at Kota Johor Lama (Johor old fort)

The fort faces the wide waters of the Johor river. It's just the trees and growths obscured the view.

Also in the vicinity is a tomb said to belong to an early Johor ruler, the one who opened Johor Lama. Look at Makam (Tomb of) Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah II Johor
