Sikka

The regency spans 1,675 square kilometers across Flores Island, encompassing twenty-one districts and multiple offshore islands in the Flores Sea.

The establishment of Catholic missions in the 17th century brought substantial changes to the coastal communities while mountain settlements maintained traditional practices.

Local weavers in the Iwangete region create intricate ikat textiles featuring detailed patterns of lizards and flowers using traditional methods.

The administrative center of Maumere coordinates services across 147 rural villages and 13 urban districts through the official website sikkakab.go.id.

The mountain villages follow circular layouts on steep slopes, contrasting with coastal settlements that develop linearly along waterways and roads.
