About Kota Bharu
Home to the sultan and sultanah, this city is known for its beautiful mosques, historic royal buildings, and the palace still in use.
Kota Bharu is a city in Malaysia that serves as the state capital and royal seat of Kelantan.
Kota Bharu is home to many mosques, various museums, the unique architecture of the old royal palaces (still occupied by the sultan and sultanah and off-limits to visitors but viewable from outside) and former royal buildings (which can be visited) in the center of town.
The Kelantanese culture is highly influenced by Thai culture because of its geographical proximity to Thailand. The Chinese are much more assimilated to local culture than those in other parts of Malaysia. Much of the food is sweet, with rice as the primary staple.
