"Originally established as Fort Jumpandang in the 16th century under Karaeng Tunipalangga Ulaweng and later rebuilt by Dutch colonisers, this coastal fort complex features low-lying Dutch-influenced colonial buildings with steeply gabled roofs. The site houses Museum Negeri La Galigo, which displays an extensive collection of cultural and historical artefacts including musical instruments and traditional ethnic wear. Visitors can appreciate the largely intact 17th-century Dutch structures (11 of the 13 buildings are original), stroll the nearby boulevard, and continue south toward Losari Beach and the nearby ‘floating mosque’ of Masjid Amirul Mukminin." - Silkwinds, the inflight magazine of SilkAir
