Makam Papan Tinggi

Makam Papan Tinggi is a historic funerary complex located at Barus in Central Tapanuli Regency, Indonesia. It contains seven old tombs dating to the 7th or 8th centuries and is located at the top of a hill.

History
One of the first burials was Mahmud ibn 'Abd al-Rahman (d. 664), the grandson of Mu'adh ibn Jabal who served as a religious cleric hailing from Yemen and spread Islam in Barus. He is also known as Shaykh Mahmud. His tomb is at least eight metres long.

In 1990, the government of Barus officially made the Makam Papan Tinggi complex a site for religious tourism. It is still well-visited to this day by both locals and tourists.
