Balla Lompoa Museum
Museum Balla Lompoa
A large stilt-house museum built in the style of the Gowa royal palace, displaying royal treasures such as the sultans' crowns, weapons, and ceremonial robes.
Balla Lompoa means 'big house.' This large stilt house was rebuilt in the style of the Gowa royal palace and stands in Sungguminasa, Gowa Regency, about 10 km from the center of Makassar. The museum displays the crowns, weapons, robes, and documents of the Gowa sultans. The nearby Tamarate Palace can also be visited. Admission is usually by donation, and visitors must remove their shoes to enter the house. Opening hours are limited, so morning visits are recommended.
