Balai Besar, also known as
the Royal Audience Hall, is one of the many tourist
attractions seen in Alor Setar, Kedah. This attraction
was built in 1898 and is being used by the Sultan of
Kedah for royal ceremonies and state functions. Located
near the famous colonial town square of Padang, this
building, which is regarded as the great hall, is
sustained on tall pillars and decorated with unique
Victorian wrought-iron designs. As with most buildings
seen here in Alor Setar, the intricate wood carvings
depict beautiful Thai architectural design.
