Gowa, Administrative territory in South Sulawesi, Indonesia
The regency of Gowa extends over 1,883 square kilometers at an elevation of 660 meters, encompassing eighteen distinct administrative districts in South Sulawesi.
Founded in November 1320, Gowa developed from a sultanate into a significant administrative region that shaped the political landscape of South Sulawesi.
The Balla Lompoa Museum contains artifacts from the former sultanate period, displaying traditional objects and historical documents that represent regional heritage.
The Bili-Bili Dam, constructed in 1998, supplies water and energy to the region while supporting agricultural activities that generate 45 percent of local income.
The eastern districts of Gowa include Malino, which functions as a hill station, contrasting with the western sectors that integrate into metropolitan Makassar.
