Makam (Tomb of) almarhum Tepus
Masjid (Mosque of) Kampung Semat
The classic shape of the tower seemed to touch on old history.
Sekarang mari masuk ke dalam bangunan utama yang kelihatan lebih baru.
Now let us go inside the main building which looks like it is much newer.
Dewan solat...
The hall for prayer...
Bahagian bawah kubah.
The parts underneath the dome.
Could be seen here Pulau Semat from the tower. That's where lies the tomb of Sultan Tajul Ariffin. Look at the article Makam (Tomb of) Sultan Tajul Ariffin. To get an idea of the location of the island and its surroundings look at the articles Visiting the mystical island of Pulau Semat and The trip back from Pulau Semat in the blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH.
Makam (Tomb of) Sultan Tajul Ariffin
Sultan ke 4 Perak ini memerintah sekitar 1584-1594. Baginda adalah anakanda kepada Sultan ke 2, Sultan Mansur Shah.
This 4th Sultan of Perak ruled aorund 1584-1594. His highness was a son to the 2nd Sultan, Sultan Mansur Shah.

Makam 7 orang Sultan di Bukit Chandan (Tombs of 7 Sultans at Bukit Chandan)
OK. In the article Makam diraja Perak (Perak royal mausoleum) which was made almost 3 years ago I have featured pictures of tombs of 3 Sultans of Perak. Actually there are 4 more tombs of Sultans inside the Perak royal burial grounds at Bukit Chandan. Now let all of it be featured as fruits from my latest visit last month.
Kelihatan di sini adalah makam Sultan ke 28 Perak, Sultan Idris I (memerintah 1887-1916). Baginda bertanggungjawab membuka Bukit Chandan lalu menjadi Sultan pertama yang dimakamkan di sini.
Seen here is the tomb of the 28th Sultan of Perak, Sultan Idris I (ruled 1887-1916). His highness was responsible for opening up Bukit Chandan and thus became the first Sultan to be buried here.
Turut terletak di dalam bangunan utama adalah makam anakanda baginda Sultan Abdul Jalil yang menggantikan baginda. Sultan ini memerintah sehingga 1918.
Also situated inside the main building is the tomb of his highness son Sultan Abdul Jalil who replaced him. This Sultan ruled until 1918.
Outside the main building lies the tomb of the 26th Sultan which is Sultan Abdullah II. Although his highness ruled before Bukit Chandan was opened, the event which is the killing of Birch 1875 resulted in him being banished to the Seychelles islands before he was officialy dethroned in the year 1887. Refer back to what has been written in the articles Makam (Tomb of) Daeng Selili and Makam (Tomb of) Laksamana Muhammad Amin. His highness finally passed away in Singapura the year 1922 and thus was laid to rest in Bukit Chandan the same year.
Makam (Tomb of) Laksamana Muhammad Amin
Referring to the previous article Makam (Tomb of) Daeng Selili. Also said to be involved in the killing of Birch is Laksamana (something like the royal admiral) Muhammad Amin. Since in my latest visit to this place last month I only took one picture which is the picture above, let us borrow what is available from the article New trip to the North - The Ubudiyah mosque and Perak royal mausoleum revisited... at the blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH, pictures took at the end of 2008.
Adapun makam ini terletak di dalam kawasan pemakaman diraja Perak, bersebelahan Masjid Ubudiyah di Bukit Chandan, Kuala Kangsar.

Glad to inform this is the 333 article in this blogspot.
Makam (Tomb of) Daeng Selili
Dua makam Sultan di Sayong (Tombs of two Sultans in Sayong)
Namun apabila melihat lebih dekat, saya jadi keliru yang manakah makam Sultan...
Still when I have a closer look, I became confused which one is the tomb of the Sultan...
Apakah yang ini...
Is it this one...
