Siak

Siak occupies a low-lying riverine plain in Indonesia’s Riau Province on Sumatra. Its centre, Siak Sri Indrapura, stands on the Siak River, a broad waterway that has long connected inland settlements with the Strait of Malacca. The town was the seat of the Sultanate of Siak, a Malay polity whose legacy remains visible at Istana Siak, the former royal palace. Beyond the town, the regency is shaped by tropical lowlands, rivers and cultivated land, giving it a notably different character from Sumatra’s volcanic uplands.
