Kingdom of Sikka

The Kingdom of Sikka (Indonesian: Kerajaan Sikka) was a polity in Flores, modern-day Indonesia, which largely corresponded to modern-day Sikka Regency. For most of its history, its seat of government was at Sikka Natar on the south coast of Flores, until the founding of Maumere in the 20th century which resulted in the transfer of the center of government there.

According to local tradition, its first raja ruled from 1607 after introducing Roman Catholicism, although prior rulers had established themselves at Sikka Natar and spread their rule around modern Sikka. The Portuguese which previously held influence over Sikka ceded it to the Dutch in 1859, and the Dutch colonial government established a new center of power at Maumere by the 1910s.
