The Malay dynasty that once ruled the Sultanate of Deli was never recognized by the government of Republic Indonesia, nor it is cancelled by the law. During the restless time of the Indonesian Revolution (1945 – 1950), almost all of the royal family was slain by the mass. Among them was Amir Hamzah, the king poet of Pujangga Baru, one of the first literary movement in Indonesia.

One can only see this palace’s shape through archeological reconstruction. The building is no longer complete. The only parts remaining are the ruins of its walls and traces of its square rooms’ foundation. Long time ago, this palace was the most important place for Banten people. Here lived the sultans of Banten, since Sultan Maulana Hasanudin (1552) to Sultan Haji who was on throne in 1672-1687.
