Gunongan & Putroe Phang Park
Gunongan / Taman Putroe Phang
A petal-shaped white artificial hill built in the 17th century by Sultan Iskandar Muda for a princess of Pahang. It is a representative relic of the Aceh Sultanate.
Gunongan is a three-tiered, petal-shaped white structure. Legend says Sultan Iskandar Muda built it for a queen from Pahang on the Malay Peninsula so she could remember the hills of her homeland. Around it are the remains of the royal palace gardens, including Taman Putroe Phang (Princess Garden) and royal tombs. Admission is small, and a visit takes about half an hour. It is about 1 km from the Grand Mosque and can be combined on foot with the Aceh Museum and the Dutch cemetery.
