Laman Mahkota Istana Bukit Serene – A Symbol of Royal History
Located in Johor Bahru, Laman Mahkota Istana Bukit Serene is a symbolic landmark of the Johor royal family. Built in 1933 by the order of then-Sultan Ibrahim of Johor, the palace blends Malay and Western architectural styles, showcasing unique artistic value. The palace's gardens, Laman Mahkota, are open to the public and frequently serve as a venue for public gatherings and royal celebrations. The garden's most notable feature is the massive royal crown sculpture, symbolizing the majesty and legacy of the Johor Sultan. Historically, it served as an important venue for receiving foreign dignitaries and bears witness to the social and cultural influence of the Johor royal family. Today, Laman Mahkota is not only a historical site but also a vital window into the culture of the Johor royal family for Johor Bahru residents and tourists.
