Pangeran Antasari Tomb, Tomb complex in North Banjarmasin, Indonesia.
Pangeran Antasari Tomb is a burial complex in North Banjarmasin that holds the remains of a resistance leader who fought against colonial rule. The site displays traditional architectural features from South Kalimantan with a protective roof covering the tomb area.
The resistance leader died from smallpox in 1862 and was initially buried elsewhere. His remains were moved to this location in 1958 after resting in a remote place for many decades.
Local people visit to remember the colonial resistance fighters and their role in Indonesian history. Annual ceremonies here bring together those who share and preserve the legacy of regional opposition to foreign rule.
The tomb is accessible via Jalan Pangeran Antasari and open to visitors during daylight hours. It is best to explore the site on foot and observe local visiting customs, especially when ceremonies are taking place.
The tomb showcases architectural elements from the Banjar Kingdom period and blends building styles from the 19th century with local traditions. This combination of historical and regional design makes it a rare example of South Kalimantan burial architecture.
