88Istana Jahar, located near Istana Balai Besar, is one of the interesting palaces around the city of Kota Bharu. In fact, Istana Jahar was also built during the reign of Sultan Muhammad II (1837-1886) after the opening of the city of Kota Bharu and the construction of Istana Balai Besar.

The purpose of building Istana Jahar by Sultan Muhammad II was to be bestowed on his grandson named Long Kundur Bendahara. Following the death of Sultan Muhammad II in 1886, the throne of Kelantan was replaced by Long Sulong who ruled with the title of Sultan Ahmad. During his reign, Istana Jahar continued to be built until it was completed.
