Liquica

The municipality of Liquica, located on the country's northern coast, offers a treasure trove of land and aquatic attractions. This area is part of the Coral Triangle, an immensely complex aquatic environment with coral reefs, countless fish species, and other sorts of marine life. Divers may enjoy a spectacular underwater habitat in the seas around Liquica Island.


On dry land, the ruins of Aipelo, a Portuguese-founded colonial jail in the 19th century, may be viewed. In the town of Maubara, there is also a Dutch fort dating from the 17th century as mentioned above. Another place worth visiting is the old Liquica Administrator's house in the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. The old residence of the Liquica Administrator was built in the neoclassical style about 1910. In front, there is a magnificent staircase, and beyond it is a spacious garden with a pool. During the Indonesian occupation, it served as the house of the Indonesian governor. Opposite the home, a small park with several pavilions was planned.
