Kota Batu Archaeological Park preserves the site of Brunei's former capital, which flourished from the 14th to 17th centuries. Visitors can explore excavated foundations, ancient tombs, and a museum displaying artifacts like pottery and jewelry. The park's lush grounds offer shaded walking paths along the Brunei River, providing a serene setting to imagine the area's royal past.
