The Wolio City of the Buton Sultanate has been a built city since 1332 M. Until now, the community has continued to make it sacred in the expression of the Blessings of Tana Wolio, Small World of Wolio Splitting the World, and Small Fragile Land of Arab Land. This phrase which has been passed down from one generation to the next one is the reason for this research, the results of which include the fortress of the city with the lafaz of Muhammad Rasulullah SAW, the visualization of the city landscape of the mother wearing a Mukena in her sitting position of prayer, the unity of the area in the form of a congregational prayer, the cosmological philoshopy based on humans and natural conditions, and the others presented in this book. This book- which was originally the author's thesis - contains a large number of new things because of the availability of new data during the writing process (the additions of local texts, resource persons, field surveys and the tracking of areas in local texts in maps made in the Netherlands and Google Earth). This book can be used as a reference for the research of Islamic kingdoms and the concept of Islamic city-spirit in the Indonesian Archipelago.
