Tomb of Prince Diponegoro
Makam Pangeran Diponegoro
The final resting place of Prince Diponegoro, leader of the Java War, who was exiled to Makassar by the Dutch. A small cemetery in the city center.
Prince Diponegoro led the Java War of 1825–1830. After his defeat, the Dutch exiled him to Makassar, where he was imprisoned at Fort Rotterdam. He died in 1855 and was buried in this small cemetery in the city center, where members of his family are also interred. The cemetery is not large, so it is a convenient stop while strolling around the city. It is about 1.5 km from Fort Rotterdam. Visitors should dress modestly and keep quiet when entering.
