The ruin of tjis Makassarese fort can be found in delta of the Jeneberang River, 7Km south of Makssar. In 1669 Bugis-Dutch forces destroyed the fort while bringing about the ruins of the powerful Makassar Kingdom. During the following centuries a large portion of the bricks were taken away to serve as building material for houses and wells in the area.
Little is left of the once all-important fort, though part of its western wall has been restored, and can be visited. For many people the highlight of the try the adjacent open-air museum of traditional houses from South Sulawesi, complex also contains an archaelogical museum housing objects found during excavalations of the fort and its surroundings.
