Independence Square

  Independence Square sits at the heart of Kuala Lumpur, flanked by the historic Sultan Abdul Samad Building. Dating back to 1957, it is a monumental site where Malaysia declared its independence from British rule, marked by its striking 100-meter flagpole—the tallest in the world at the time. This spacious city square serves as a popular venue for national celebrations and public events, particularly during Malaysian Independence Day on August 31st. Visitors can explore the lush green lawns, admire the colonial architecture, or capture photos against a backdrop of the vibrant city. It's a central hub of history where the past and present of Malaysia converge.
