Sacred Heart Cathedral, Makassar, Roman Catholic cathedral in Makassar, Indonesia.
The Sacred Heart Cathedral features two tall towers, pointed arches, and stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes throughout its interior structure.
The cathedral construction began in 1898, reaching completion in 1900, followed by significant renovations and expansions between 1939 and 1941.
The cathedral represents the presence of Catholicism in Makassar, dating back to 1525 when Portuguese missionaries first arrived in the region.
The cathedral maintains regular mass schedules and welcomes visitors throughout the day, serving as the primary church for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Makassar.
In 1633, Sultan Alauddin of Gowa established religious freedom for Catholics, a policy that remained through subsequent regional leadership.
