Visitors listen to the guide's explanation of Banua Oge or Souraja (King's House) in Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, Sunday 3 February 2019. The house that was built in 1892 was last functioned as the king's house by the last Palu king Magau Palu Tjatjo Idjazah before being taken over by the government as one of the cultural heritage buildings in Indonesia. The 35 x 11.5 square meter house is made entirely of ironwood which is only found in East Kalimantan. Now, houses that store many historical objects are often used to carry out traditional parties, especially by local residents who are ethnic Kaili. The building which is located in Lere Kampong or two kilometers from the center of the capital city of Palu, Central Sulawesi Province is still firmly standing even though it has been repeatedly shaken by a magnitude earthquake up to 7.4. Every day Lubur, this house is visited by many local tourists and foreign tourists. Often visited by students and researchers for historical research. (Photo by Basri Marzuki/NurPhoto)
