Colonial architecture of Makassar

Colonial era architecture of Makassar in South Sulawesi, Indonesia includes Fort Rotterdam and other Dutch buildings constructed when the area was part for the Dutch East Indies. Most of the colonial era old towns had been demolished as a result of harbor expansions. As the gateway for Eastern province, the city was involved in the spice trade. Makassar eventually came under Dutch control in 1669.^[1]
