Dataran Merdeka

A prominent landmark in the heart of Kuala Lumpur; the Square commemorates the historic event that occurred there, when at the stroke of midnight on 31 August 1957, the Union Jack was lowered for the last time and Malaya became an independent nation. We took the monorail and then the metro to Merdeka Square with its beautiful buildings, the first of which we viewed was the Panggung Bandaraya (City Theatre). I suggest you visit the National Museum first to learn more about Malaysian history before you visit some places like Merdeka Square. It gives it more meaning and significance than just visiting a place and not knowing the history behind it. It is situated in front of the Sultan Abdulsamad Building and KL City gallery. #urbanexplorer #besttrip #summerdays#roadtrip
