The research location is in South Leato, Gorontalo City. Geologically, the study site conditions are arranged in a dominant lithology of volcanic rock and limestone. The existence of limestone is interesting to study because its position in the hills shows a strong tectonic influence. The purpose of this study was to analyze the porosity of the limestone in the South Leato Region, Gorontalo City. This goal will be achieved using two methods: geological field surveys and laboratory analysis of specific gravity and water absorption tests of coarse aggregate. The results showed that the limestone that made up the research area was coralline rudstone. Referring to the average porosity value of the limestone in the study area, the porosity is excellent.
