The Merlion is an iconic landmark in Singapore, located on the Singapore River in the city center. It symbolizes the country's development from a small fishing village. The design of the Merlion is inspired by a legend in the Malay Annals. In the 11th century, a prince named Sang Nila Utama saw a lion while patrolling Singapura. The lion's head on the Merlion represents that lion, and the fish tail symbolizes the ancient city of Temasek (meaning "sea" in Javanese). Today, the area around Merlion Park has developed into Singapore's financial and commercial center with a skyline of high-rise buildings.
