Male, the capital of Maldives is the most commercialized city in the chain of islands that belongs to this nation. Male too is a tiny little island which can be circulated in just 45 minutes. It too is the most heavenly city you can ever dream of visiting, perhaps because of its subtle surroundings, its authentic ambience and the warm and friendly citizens who make their home here. In the heart of this amazing city stand the Mulee-aage Palace. This historic building has been a popular tourist destination where one can take an interesting insight into Maldivian history and culture. Located across the road from Hukuru Miskiiy, the building stands proudly in blue and white tones with an elaborate gate that adorns its entrance. The Mulee-aage Palace was first constructed by the hands of the great Sultan Shamsudeen. It was in fact a gift for his son, a place built before the World War one. But the Sultan and the Son no more stayed in the palace after 1936, they were banished from the island after which this palace became Government property. For years it played not much of a role but in 1986 it was declared the House of the President of Maldives. For nearly 8 years it served this purpose, hosting official gatherings and entertaining foreign delegates. In 1994 the President moved to the new official residence built on the Eastern end of the compound. Since then the Mulee-aage Palace just stands as a symbol of the history of Male, a treasured ornament that can be explored.
