The Siak Sri Indrapura castle is one of the most famous relics of Siak Kingdom, one of the largest historical kingdoms in Riau. Located not far from the center of Pekanbaru, this castle is a definitive choice for a place that you cannot mniss during your visit to Pekanbaru. In here, visitors can observe various objects of rich historical value such as various tools, jewelries, and even objects that are more grandiose in nature such as the bronze statue of Queen Wilhelmina and the statue of Sultan Syarif Hasyim I that was made from marbles and diamond embroidery, or an ancient musical instrument as old as 200 years old. The 2nd floor, originally intended to serve as rooms where inhabitants and guests of the castle can rest, is now serving as the place where you can see a vast collection of Sultan's exotic weaponry, in addition of a very unique painting of Napoleon Bonaparte that came directly from France.
