Palopo, Port city in South Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Located at an elevation of 3 meters above sea level, Palopo City extends over 247 square kilometers along the coast of South Sulawesi province.
The Dutch administration annexed Palopo in 1905, transforming this former capital of Luwu Regency into a regional trade center for coffee and gold exports.
The white coral blocks of Palopo Old Mosque, featuring historical inscriptions from various periods, represent the architectural heritage of South Sulawesi's earliest Islamic structures.
The city contains nine administrative districts, including Wara Utara and Telluwanua, with public facilities serving a population of approximately 177,000 residents.
Sultan Abdullah Muhiddin established Palopo in 1620 as a strategic port connecting maritime trade routes to the inland Toraja-speaking Seko-Rongkong valleys.
