Palopo Old Mosque, Historical mosque in Palopo City, Indonesia.

The Palopo Old Mosque features thick stone and chalk walls measuring 94 centimeters, with five central pillars representing Islamic principles.

Built in 1604 by Datuk Sulaiman from West Sumatra during the Kingdom of Luwu under Sultan Abdullah Matinroe's rule.

The mosque incorporates regional architectural elements and maintains its original structure, except for the renovated mimbar damaged by termites.

The building maintains comfortable temperatures through its thick walls and serves as an educational center with Quranic studies for children.

The main support column of the mosque uses cinna gori, a local wood species specific to the South Sulawesi region.
