Old Railway Station Kuala Lumpur

In Kuala Lumpur we still can find some relic of British colonial buildings that still stand intact, one of which is the train station (old kuala lumpur railway station) located at Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin this. The station was founded in 1910 by a British architect named Arthur Benison Hubback.

He also designed several ancient buildings in Kuala Lumpur such as the Sultan Abdul Samad building and the Masjid Jamek. Design architect that he has made often refer to the Moorish style architecture, a popular genre of Islamic architecture in North Africa, Spain and Portugal in the year 711 until 1492. If you've been to these countries you will definitely feel the deja vu when seeing valuable architectural buildings in Kuala Lumpur, especially in Putrajaya.

Since 2001 the main function of the railway station was eventually replaced by the Kuala Lumpur Sentral station a more modern and compact. Now there is only one railway, the KTM Commuter is still using this station. Here too there is a railway museum, you can see it for free, but because of quiet visitors leave the museum is finally in the untreated. Just across the street from the building you will find a beautiful building architecture, which is building the railway company owned the land wither Berhad.

Inside the station there is an ancient hotel called The Heritage Station Hotel. You want to try nginep there? Try to check room rates on the website. To get here you should use a taxi, tell the taxi driver to go to the old railway station at Jalan Hishamuddin. You also can use the Putra LRT and stop at the Art Market station, but from there you have to walk quite a distance. If you come here you can all to the State Mosque, just opposite the railway station.
