Carcosa Seri Negara
Colonial-era mansion turned heritage site
History
Perched on a hill overlooking the Perdana Botanical Gardens, these two colonial mansions have witnessed pivotal moments in Malaysian history.
Carcosa was built in 1898 as the official residence of the British Resident-General, while Seri Negara was added later as the Governor's guest house. It was here that the Constitution of Malaysia was drafted before independence in 1957. The complex served as a luxury hotel for many years but is currently closed to the public pending restoration. Its significance is immense, both architecturally and historically.
