Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, this iconic building has become a well known tourist attraction over the years. Completed in the year 1910 as a hub for Malaya’s rail transportation system, the Kuala Lumpur train station is comprised of tall minarets and arches that are still in good condition till today. This distinct colonial building has inspired various artists due to its majestic structure.
