A morning at the Bajra Sandhi Monument in Denpasar

Away from the beaches, in central Bali lies the Bajra Sandhi Monument, one of Bali's most important tourist spots. Its location is in the island's administrative capital of Denpasar, and it is a definitely an iconic site. With an impossible-to-miss tower in the center of a gated compound, and standard traditional Balinese architectural details similar to those present at the temples in this island, visitors would be amazed at the monument's meaningful beauty and deep history. Actually this tower was built to commemorate the struggle of the Balinese people against the Dutch in the 19th century. For those interested, entrance tickets and tours are available for reasonable prices. Alternatively, visitors may also enjoy taking a walk, or jog along the path, at the square in the vicinity, a famous gathering place for events and leisure, especially in the weekends. #bali #denpasar
