Abstract

This study aims to describe the use of historical sites in Aceh Tamiang as a source of historical learning. To achieve this goal, a literature study was used in this study. This research is a research that uses data collection techniques by procuring a study of books, records and reports. The core of the discussion of this research is how historical heritage buildings become a source of historical learning that can be used by many people, especially students. The results obtained from the research are that the Seruway Royal Palace Site in Aceh Tamiang is an important historical heritage to be studied. The palace was established in 1887 during the Dutch colonial period and shows a mixture of Dutch architecture and Malay Deli culture. Learning history through historical sites can increase historical awareness in students. This awareness includes knowledge of historical facts and filling the mind with logic. Increasing awareness of local history is essential to maintain the identity and pride of the community.
