The Sultan Abdul Samad Building has been standing for more than a century and its graceful onion-shaped, copper domes, sweeping
horseshoe arches and imposing 130-metre tall clock tower is synonymous with the city skyline. Built by British architects, A.C Norman
and A.B. Hubback, the building is an elegant combination of Moghul, Moorish, Arab and British neoclassical architecture. The Sultan Abdul
Samad building was once the seat of British colonial administration but has since become the home of the supreme and high courts. A corner
of the building houses a centre for Malaysian handicrafts, known as Infokraf. Malaysian National Day parades and other major celebrations frequently take place along the road in front of this timeless structure.
