One place that I would recommend for those who visit Makassar is Fort Rotterdam.

Fort Rotterdam or Benteng Ujung Pandang is one of the well-preserved examples of Dutch architecture in Indonesia. The forts first structure was built by King of Gowa, Tunipalangga Ulaweng, in 1545 with a simple building. When Dutch invaded, the fort failed to keep out the Dutch. The original fort then was rebuilt in Dutch style after the Treaty of Bungaya in 1667. General of the Dutch army, Admiral Cornelis Janszoon Speelman, named the fort as the name of his hometown, Rotterdam. It has a function as a bastion of the Dutch until 1937. One of the leaders of the Java War, Prince Diponegoro, was imprisoned here for 26 years until his death in 1855. Fort Rotterdam has five towers, four towers at each corner and one at the main entrance. The fort has a shape resembling a sea turtle that crawling towards the sea. Thats why local people also know the fort as Benteng Panynyua. There are also several museums inside the Fort, the most popular one is Museum Lagaligo.
