The Istana Bandar is a historical palace in Jugra, Kuala Langat District, Selangor, Malaysia.
History
It was built in 1899. The then-Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Alaeddin Sulaiman Shah, whose official residence was in Klang, still frequented this palace for Friday prayers at the mosque next to this palace. It was mothballed after his death in 1938. This palace is also the place the 7th Sultan, Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, was born.{{cite web |title=ISTANA BANDAR |url=http://www.mdkl.gov.my/ms/pelawat/destinasi-menarik/istana-bandar |website=Portal Rasmi Majlis Daerah Kuala Langat |access-date=30 July 2019}}
Chinese workers (originally from nearby mining activities) were recruited for the construction project of this palace.
Transportation
