Suaya Royal Graves
Suaya
Cliff tombs of Sangalla royalty, with rows of ancient tau tau wooden effigies on the rock face, and stone steps leading up for views over the rice fields.
Suaya lies in Sangalla, east of Makale, and is the burial ground of local royalty. Climbing the stone steps up the cliff face reveals several rows of tau tau wooden effigies and tombs carved into the rock. Many of the effigies are very old and finely carved. At the foot of the hill is a small exhibition room displaying funerary objects. Visitors are few, and it can be combined with the nearby Tampang Allo cave tombs and the Kambira baby tree graves. Admission is about 10,000 Indonesian rupiah.
