Satisfied after seeing the split up cannon we then approached Istana (palace of) Maimon.

Ia adalah istana keSultanan Deli yang menjadi kebanggaan warga Medan.

It is the palace of the Deli Sultanate (kingdom) which is a pride of the people of Medan.

Istana ini dibangunkan tahun 1888. Ketika itu Deli sudah menjadi jajahan takluk Belanda.

The palace was built in the year 1888. At the time Deli was already a colonial territory of the Dutch.

Selepas jajahan takluk Belanda merdeka untuk membentuk negara Indonesia 1945, keSultanan Deli terserap ke dalamnya. Taraf Sultan kemudian diturunkan menjadi lambang adat sahaja. Selepas beberapa lama istana pula dijadikan muzium.

After the colonies of the Dutch became independent to form the nation of Indonesia 1945, the Sultanate of Deli was absorbed inside it. The status of the Sultan (ruler) was then demoted to become just a cultural symbol. After a time the palace in turn was turned into a museum.

Sekarang sesiapa sahaja boleh masuk untuk melihat isinya. Cukup kata-kata saya ya... :]

Now anyone can go in to see what's inside. Enough of my words ya... :]
