Maros

Maros is a town in the South Sulawesi province of Indonesia, close to the big city of Makassar. It is the main town of the Maros Regency area.

The town is home to the Indonesian Cereals Research Institute. This place helps improve farming for crops like rice.

In 2012, a big company started building a new plant in Maros. This plant was meant to make more cement for building projects in the area.

One fun place to visit in Maros is the Maros Water Park. People can enjoy swimming and water activities there.
