Palu is a city on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, located 1,650 km northeast of Jakarta, at 0°54′S 119°50′E / 0.900°S 119.833°E / -0.900; 119.833. The city sits on the mouth of Palu River, at the head of a long, narrow bay. Because of its sheltered position between mountain ridges, the climate is unusually dry. It is the capital of the province of Central Sulawesi. Palu's population is approximately 270,000.
