Souraja is a rumah adat, or traditional house, in Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, that was used by the magau, or kings, of Palu. Built in 1892 using a combination of Bugis and Kaili vernacular architecture, it is a wooden stilt house measuring 32 by 11.5 metres. The building was officially recognized as a cultural property of Indonesia in 1982 and survived the 2018 earthquake that devastated the region largely unaffected, and it remains open to the public as a cultural heritage site.
