Putro Phang Royal Garden

Putro Phang Royal Garden is a historical legacy of Aceh Darussalam Kingdom. This park was built by Sultan Iskandar Muda (1607-1636) as an expression of his love for his queen, Putroe Phang, who came from the Kingdom of Pahang. This park functioned as the bathing place for the King and the Empress and connected with another site, namely Gunongan Park. Gunongan Park was built to resemble the hills in Pahang, with the intention to heal the Empress’s longing for her hometown in Pahang (which belongs to a Malaysian territory since 1957).
