Istana Maziah serves as the official residence of the Sultan of Terengganu and is a prime example of traditional Malay architecture. Visitors can admire its elegant white exterior, ornate wood carvings, and well-manicured gardens from the outside. The palace is not open to the public, but its grandeur and historical significance make it a must-see landmark in Kuala Terengganu.
