Moroccan Pavilion (Astaka Morocco)

The Moroccan Pavilion (Astaka Morocco) is an ornate architectural pavilion located within the Putrajaya Botanical Garden in Presint 1, Putrajaya. Built through collaboration between the Malaysian and Moroccan governments and crafted by Moroccan artisans, it replicates traditional Moroccan village architecture. Notable for its intricate zellige tilework, carved cedar wood, stucco detailing, arches and central courtyard fountain, it serves as a cultural attraction showcasing Moroccan Islamic artistry within Malaysia's administrative capital.

Visitors can expect an enclosed Moroccan-style complex set within the landscaped Putrajaya Botanical Garden. The pavilion features four interlinked buildings surrounding a central courtyard with a fountain, horseshoe arches, carved wooden doors and ceilings, colourful zellige mosaic tilework and stucco carvings. Interiors display Moroccan craftsmanship and decorative details. The surrounding garden setting offers paved walkways, photo spots and quiet courtyards for sightseeing and photography.
