Original antique map titled 'Kaart der Westkust van Celebes van Makasser tot Laijkan'. This large map shows the west coast of Celebes, Sulawesi, Indonesia. It covers the region of Makassar to Cikoang. Inset map of the coast of Selat (Strait) Makassar, also showing the Dutch Fort Rotterdam, to day Fort Ujung Pandang. With historical traces dating back to the Kingdom of Gowa from the 16th century to colonization by the Dutch, this Fort has silently witnessed many episodes in Makassar’s history, playing a most essential role in its development. Originally called Benteng or Fort Jumpandang or Ujung Pandang, the huge complex was first built in 1545 in the era of Imanrigau Daeng Bonto Karaeng Lakiung or Karaeng Tunipalangga Ulaweng, the tenth King of Gowa. Initially, the fort was made from a mixture of Stone and burnt clay, and took the shape of a typical square Portuguese architectural style.
Published 1848.
