The cliff cemetery of Suaya is located around nine kilometres to the east of Makale in the sub-district of Sangalla’, boasting several burial chambers and Tau Tau. In addition to the burial chambers, visitors will also find several Patane, each brick mausoleum housing several generations of a local family. This cliff burial site was built for Puang Tamboro Langi’ and his descendants and therefore only descendants of Sangalla’ royal bloodline are allowed to be interred here. Situated near the stairs at Suaya is a stone that, according to local lore, cannot be moved or touched. If a person were to touch the stone, it is claimed that the person will suddenly faint (known as kasalla).

Tanah adalah elemen suci bagi orang Toraja. Sehingga makam dibuat di atas tebing. @iqbal_kautsar
