Palopo

South-eastern Asia

Palopo is a city in the province of South Sulawesi in Indonesia. Indonesia treats it as a city (kota) at the regency level, and the figures compiled by City Population count 184,681 inhabitants at the 2020 census, against 147,932 at the 2010 census. GeoNames places Palopo at latitude -2.99250 and longitude 120.19694, about 8 metres above sea level by its digital elevation model, in the Asia/Makassar time zone of the IANA database, which is UTC+8. GeoNames records Palopo as a populated place, so it is not the capital of South Sulawesi. GeoNames carries its own population figure of 184,961. The atlas places it in the South-eastern Asia subregion of Asia.
