Johor LamaHistory buffs will find this place of interest. Situated 30 km from Johor Bahru, it was the royal seat of the Johor sultanate until 1587.

A dispute between the sultanate and the Portuguese led to a Portuguese raid on Johor Lama.

With a small fleet and 500 men, the Portuguese attacked the Johor Fort in 1587. After this Johor Lama declined and the capital was moved to the present Johor Bahru.
