The sun sets over 99 Domes Grand Mosque and Center Point of Indonesia on Wednesday (21/8/2019) at Losari Beach in Makassar, South Sulawesi. Construction on the mosque, which is expected to be the iconic landmark of South Sulawesi, started in 2017. The mosque was designed by architect and West Java Governor Ridwal Kamil, costs Rp 176 billion and is built on reclaimed land.

The Center Point of Indonesia serves as a new icon for Makassar. The elite area in Losari Beach was developed on reclaimed land. Ironically, coastal communities in Takalar regency are affected by the reclamation project.

Ririn Ekawati, 35, joyfully played with her two toddlers near the 99 Domes Mosque in the Center Point of Indonesia (CPI) area on Friday (17/1/2020) afternoon. The public area was filled with visitors seeking relaxation. There are running and cycling tracks, parks and a coastal area with sea sand. From the area, visitors can take a look at Makassar across a narrow strait.
