In Makassar there is one that stands majestic fortress, called Fort Rotterdam. Do not imagine the location of the fort is located far outside the city, and we had to spend so many hours to sit the car speed, because the location of the fort is located in Makassar making it fairly easy to achieve.

Fort with two square yard Fatahilah Museum is located in front of the Jakarta sea port city of Makassar or the middle of the city's central commercial center. If we stay in the area around the beach Losari, then the distance is within the range of a radius of 2 km's only. From the highway, Fort Rotterdam is also familiarly called the castle Ujung pandang (another name of Makassar) will be easily recognized because it is very striking with the 1600's era architecture that is different from the home and office in the vicinity. Solid black mossy walls towered almost as high as 5 feet, and the original entrance still like his prime. From this height, the shape of the castle as a form of turtle totem was about getting into the beach.

Because the area is used as an office, so the cleanliness and tidiness of the environment there is quite well preserved.

This fort was originally built in 1545 by the king of Gowa to X ie Tunipallangga Ulaweng. Initial raw material is stone wall fortress mixed with baked clay to dry. The building inside is filled by a typical stage Gowa house where the king and the family settled in it. When moving in the king of Gowa XIV, the walls and then replaced with rock hard black Padas.

The presence of the Dutch who controlled the area around the banda and embarrassment, necessarily make the Dutch decided to conquer the commercial fleet VOC Gowa that can easily get in and docked here. Since the year 1666 came the first war between the ruling king of Gowa in the fort by the Dutch authorities Speelman. A year battered by the Dutch fort aided by troops from Maluku leased, until finally there Gowa royal power over. The whole fortress shattered, burned the king's house destroyed by the troops inside enemy. This defeat made ​​the Dutch forced the king to sign the "agreement Bongaya" on November 18, 1667. Later Speelman decided to settle there by rebuilding and managing buildings there to be tailored to the needs of the Dutch architectural tastes. Initial form-like rectangular box surrounded by five bastions, one additional turn get another bastion on the west side. Name also is converted Fort Rotterdam, the birthplace of Gen. Gub Netherlands Cornelis Speelman.

One of the famous tourist attraction here than to see the castle, was to visit the detention narrow Diponegoro when discarded by the Dutch from Java caught on the ground. Diponegoro which raged between the years 1825-1830 ended with him trapped Prince Diponegoro by the Netherlands while attending peace talks. Diponegoro was arrested and exiled to Manado, then in 1834 he was transferred to Fort Rotterdam. He single-handedly placed in a jail cell is walled curved and very sturdy. In the room she reserved a room empty of life and its complementary equipment such as prayer, Quran, and bed. Many then believed that Diponegoro died in Makassar, and was buried there too.

Fort Orange

There is a history in Gorontalo attractions that caught my attention. His name was Fort Orange. Maybe you think the same as I was when the fort orange. Correct? Probably

Apparently not, not at all actually, Then why the fort named Orange? Have you ever heard Orange team squad? That the Dutch squad. So the site is called Orange fort as fort belonged to the Dutch. I also understand if the new orange color has become a color of Dutch nationality long ago. Let us trace back neatly on the history of this fort. Actually, the fort was made ​​by the Portuguese in the century 15/16. The original name of the castle that has a height of 50 meters above sea level this is not known.

Fort Orange

Attractions Fort Orange (Orange Fortress) is one of the historic relics contained in Kwandang District, approximately 61 km from the city of Gorontalo. The fort is a heritage area

The arrival of the Dutch in the 17th century made ​​the Portuguese pressed and returns back to his country. Then Holland added buildings, improve building construction.

Since the last Dutch used the fort, the Dutch also give the names of Fort Orange. Unfortunately, the fact of historical about the fort’s existence of the Portuguese is gone. Or maybe it is already stored in the history of the Dutch national archives? It's that I have not had time to browse.
