Built atop an existing fort of the Gowa Kingdom, this Dutch fort was built between 1673 and 1679. The fort is surrounded by a 7-metre high wall, with five of the original six bulwarks still visible. Within the fort are 13 buildings, with a church at the centre. The fort was originally square, typical of Portuguese architecture, and then underwent a makeover under Governor General Speelman. A few of the buildings inside the fort have been converted into museums showcasing the history of Makassar.
