Palopo Old Mosque, Mosque in Palopo, Indonesia.

The Palopo Old Mosque is a square mosque of 15 by 15 metres on a street corner in Palopo, facing east, with walls 90.2 cm thick and 3 m high and a total height of 10.80 m. Its three-tiered shingle roof is topped by a blue Chinese ceramic finial, and the upper tier rests on a single cinna gori column 90 cm in diameter.

The mosque was founded in 1604 by Datuk Sulaiman from West Sumatra while the Kingdom of Luwu was ruled by Sultan Abdullah Matinroe. This founding moment marked the establishment of a prayer center under local leadership during that era.

The name Palopo comes from Bugis and Luwu: a snack of glutinous rice and sugar water, or driving a peg into a post hole, both tied to the mosque's construction. The minbar has a paduraksa gate with kala makara motifs, and some Luwu people hold that its architect, Puang Ambe Monte from Sangalla Tana Toraja, is buried beneath it.

The mosque stands at a street corner, facing east, with the Luwu royal palace nearby. Its walls are 90.2 cm thick and 3 m high, and the interior stays cool. The minbar was replaced after termites damaged the original.

The top roof tier rests on a single soko guru column of cinna gori wood, 90 cm across, while the two lower tiers are held by four pillars each. In South Sulawesi thought this single central post, the wara, stands surrounded by the palili. The minbar was later rebuilt after termites made it fragile.
