One of the most popular historic buildings in the country, the Mulee Aage Palace located in close proximity to the Friday Mosque is frequented by visitors both foreign and local on a regular basis. The site is a government owned property which was built in 1906. The construction project of the building was founded by Muhammad Shamsuddeen III, the son of Ibrahim Noordeen. This charismatic individual is known as one of the most noble and loved leaders in Maldives. Muhammad Shamsuddeen III was nominated for the position of sultan when he was at the tender age of 14, who was ultimately chosen for the position ahead of his half brother Muhammad Imaadudeen V.
The Mulee Aage Palace was declared as a government property in 1936 after Muhammad Shamsuddeen III was overthrown from power. Subsequently it was designated as the official residence of the President of the country which was a title that it retained for no less than four decades. The unique architectural style of the building is quite remarkable and is adorned with intricate wooden carvings which are a typical feature of buildings designed in the colonial era. The garden facing the entrance of the building is well maintained and is landscaped to perfection to highlight the palace.
