Manado, Provincial capital in North Sulawesi, Indonesia

Manado stretches along the Bay of Manado at the foot of Mount Klabat, covering 157 square kilometers of coastal and mountainous terrain.

The Dutch East India Company constructed Fort Amsterdam in 1658, establishing Manado as a crucial trading post for coffee, nutmeg, and ebony exports.

The population consists primarily of Minahasa people who communicate in Manado Malay, while maintaining their traditional customs and local dialects.

Sam Ratulangi International Airport connects the city to major Indonesian destinations, with local minibuses providing transportation throughout the urban area.

The waters of Bunaken National Park near Manado contain 390 species of coral and support a rich diversity of marine life.
