Holiday Ayo - Maimoon Palace is a royal house for the Sultanate of Deli and becomes a tourist site in Medan, South Sumatra.

This grand, 30-room Maimoon Palace was built by the sultan of Deli in 1888 and the architecture features Malay, Mogul, and Italian influences.

Only the main room, which features the lavish inauguration throne, is open to the public. Here you can check out a modest collection of ceremonial keris and dress up in traditional Malay costumes.

Maimoon Palace is one of the most beautiful palaces that still exist in Indonesia. The Palace consists of two floors divided each into three parts: the main building, the left-wing, and the right-wing.

Each floor has 20 rooms. The total of 40 rooms of this Palace does not include the prison in the basement, kitchen, and bathrooms. In front, about 100 meters, stands the Mosque of Al-Maksum known as the Great Mosque of Medan.

Maimoon Palace is located at Brig. Jend. Katamso Street in downtown Medan. This historic building is open to the public every day, except when there is organizing a special ceremony.

Visitors who come to the palace still have the chance to witness the collections of the kingdom which are displayed along with the meeting room, such as the photos of the families, antique furniture gifted by the Dutch, and various types of weapons.

Patterns of Dutch architecture with doors and window width and height, as well as Spanish-style doors, are part of the Palace Maimun. Dutch influence was also seen on a marble slab in front of the marble steps written with Latin letters in Dutch.
