Bukit Malawati (Malawati Hill in English) is a fort located in Kuala Selangor, Selangor, Malaysia.[1] Managed by the Kuala Selangor Municipal Council, Bukit Malawati is a popular local tourist attraction.[2] It has strategic importance because of its position at the mouth of the Selangor River which drains into the Strait of Malacca, with vantages on both the Strait and Sumatra, Indonesia. Some of Bukit Malawati's historical highlights include an old lighthouse, as well as the remains of Kota Malawati (Malay for Fort Malawati).[1][3][4] Bukit Malawati also serves as the final resting place for three of Selangor's earliest Sultans.
