Hang Kasturi Mausoleum

Unclaimed

A tomb of one of the bodyguards and retainers to Sultan Mansor Shah the sixth Sultan of Malacca. Hang Kasturi's tomb, which is thought to be over 550 years old, is found behind a decorative gateway inscribed Makam Hang Kasturi. The grave itself is two-tiered and flanked by 8 short pillars each decorated with a triangle motif. It's such a small open air tourist attraction that you'd want to visit this place together with the Taoist temple beside it. #RP

Hang Kasturi was one of a gang of five martial artists who used to be active around the Melaka Sultanate palace. He apparently murdered his brother Hang Tuah before being killed by the Prime Minister of Ulu Melaka. His mausoleum is fully white, and is located on Jonker street. So whenever you are around Jonker street, you can just take a look.

This is the masoleum of one of the heroes of Malacca. The tomb was kept well but not open for public. Visitors may just view it from the fence.

Malacca's historical landmark and also very interesting piece of local Islamic architecture.
