The country itself has been ruled by the same Sultanate monarchy for the last 600 years. The capital city, Bandar Seri Begawan, is the centre of Brunei's commerce, finance and government. In many ways, it is also the heart of Brunei's cultural landscape housing some of the nation's most world-renowned attractions. Islamic influences form a central foundation of the nation's heritage and culture seen throughout the architecture.
