South Sulawesi, Provincial territory in Sulawesi Island, Indonesia.

South Sulawesi covers 46,717 square kilometers of land between the Gulf of Boni, Makassar Strait, and Flores Sea, with Makassar as its capital city.

The region evolved from multiple kingdoms into a formal province in 1960, developing through administrative changes including the separation from Southeast Sulawesi in 1964.

The Buginese, Makassarese, and Torajan communities maintain their distinct languages, traditional ceremonies, architectural styles, and maritime traditions within the province.

The province contains 21 regencies and 3 independent cities, serving as an administrative center for government services and regional development programs.

The Konjo tribe constructs traditional pinisi vessels, double-masted wooden ships that represent the maritime expertise of South Sulawesi's coastal communities.
