Makassar is the capital of South Sulawesi province in Indonesia. It is located in the southwestern part of the island of Sulawesi, on the Makassar Strait, and is the largest city in the province. The city is home to a population of 1.5 million people and is the largest port in Indonesia.

Makassar is a city with a rich history, dating back to the 16th century when the Portuguese arrived and established a trading post. The Dutch East India Company then took control of the city in 1667 and it became an important trading hub for the Dutch, trading in spices, textiles and other goods. The city was also an important center for the spread of Islam in the region.

The city is known for its unique culture, with a strong influence from the Bugis, Makassarese, and Toraja cultures. The city is also known for its traditional markets, where visitors can find a variety of goods, from food to clothing to crafts.

Makassar is situated on the western coast of Sulawesi and is surrounded by mountains and hills. It has a tropical climate, with temperatures ranging from 18 to 35 degrees Celsius throughout the year.

Makassar has been the site of several important historical events. In 1667, the Dutch East India Company took control of the city. In 1855, the Dutch government declared Makassar a free port, and it became a major port for the Dutch East Indies. During World War II, Makassar was the site of a major battle between the Japanese and Allied forces. After the war, the city was the site of an independence movement, led by the Partai Makassar. In 1950, Makassar became the capital of South Sulawesi province.
