What are the Top 3 Things to Do in Gorontalo?

  • Fort Otanaha - In the past, this was a legacy of former Portuguese colonisation. Fort Otanaha, used by the Gorontalo Kings as a place of protection and defence. The uniqueness of the visible fort is the material used to build a mixture of sand, plaster, and egg white forts. The view of Lake Limboto can be seen clearly from here because it is located on a plateau. Precisely, in Dembe I, Kota Barat, about 8 km from downtown Gorontalo. There are two more forts located in the same area, namely Otahiya and Ulupahu Palace. Visitors must pass 345 steps to reach it. According to history, in the 15th century, the Portuguese sailor stopped in Kota Barat, Gorontalo because of the bad weather, pirate threat, and lack of foods. They offered the king of Gorontalo to build three fortresses in the top of Dembe Hill to protect the area. The Ilato King had two daughters name Ndoba and Tiliaya, and one son called Naha. However, after the construction of that fortress, the Gorontalo princesses found out that Portuguese misused the kingdom's kindness as an instrument to drive away their pirate’s enemy. Then, the Gorontalo people turned back to dislodge Portuguese out of their kingdom. When Naha replaced his father and became the King of Gorontalo, there was a war from Hemuto, the leader of the transmigrant in the north region. In 1585, he accidentally found Otanaha fortress and used it as a shelter of his wife, Ohihiya, and their two sons Paha (Pahu) and Limonu. During the war, Naha and Paha were killed by Hemuto. Then, Limonu made revenge and killed Hemuto. The name of three fortresses used during the war was given based on Naha family. The first fort name Otanaha from Ota means fort and Naha was, the person who found the fort. The second fortress was named Otahiya from word Hiya, an acronym of Ohihiya (Naha's wife). And the third fort named Uwole which means Pahu's (Naha's son) fortress.
