The yellow color dominate this building. Do not connect with the color of a political party. Yellow is the color of a typical Malay. Inside are family photographs, furniture, and ancient weapons. This Maimun Palace which is a relic of the Sultanate of Deli. The palace is located at Jalan Brig Maimun Katamso, Medan. The palace was founded by the Sultan of Deli Empire, Sultan Ma'mun Al Rashid Alam Perkasa. Pendesainnya was an Italian architect, and completed in 1888. Above ground area of 2772 m2 of building the palace stood facing the east, and became the center of the kingdom Deli. The palace consists of two floors divided into three parts, namely the main building, the left wing and right wing. In front, about 100 meters, stands the Mosque of Al-Maksum better known by the name of the Great Mosque of Medan. Entering the living room (hall) you'll find a throne which dominated the color yellow. Crystal chandeliers illuminate the throne, a form of the influence of European culture. The effect was also seen in the palace furniture such as chairs, tables and cabinets to toilet sliding doors to the hall. Room area of 412 m2 was used for the coronation ceremony of Sultan Deli or other custom events. Hall is also used as a place of worship of the emperor received relatives in the days of Islam. Furthermore, you will certainly feel tired explore the rooms in it. Number of rooms there are 40: 20 rooms upstairs where the Sultan's throne and the 20 rooms at the bottom, not including 4 bathrooms, storeroom, kitchen, and jail in the basement. Interesting if studied architectural design of this palace. The combination between Islamic tradition and European culture is very visible. In addition to that seen in the hall, heavy foundation building also shows penaruh Europe. Some building materials are imported from European palaces, such as tiles, marble, and terrazzo. Patterns of Dutch architecture with doors and windows are wide and tall, as well as Spanish-style doors to be part of the Palace Maimun. Dutch influence is also visible on the marble slab in front of the marble staircase, which was written with Latin letters in Dutch. Islamic influence seen in the form of arches or arcades in some parts of the palace roof.
