The majority of tourists arriving on the island, vacationing in the south, kabupatene Badung. The main town of the region and also the capital of Bali - a noisy and crowded Denpasar, numbering half a million inhabitants. On its winding streets, it is easy to get lost. However, despite this, it is necessary to reach the city center, where there are several interesting sights. At the heart of the metropolis stretches Last Battle Field in Badunge, green areas, reminiscent of the last Balinese skirmish with the Dutch army, which in 1906 attacked the palace of Raja. Dressed in festive garments Balinese warriors, armed only with knives and spears, went into battle to die in ritual puputan ("end"), which was nothing more than a mass suicide. About this event now resembles a bronze statue of. Raja's palace on the spot, in the northern part of the square, stands the former residence of the governor of the island. And on the east side is the National Museum of Bali, built by the Dutch in the 30-ies of XX century. Attention is drawn to its architecture, in which we can discern elements of the two most popular in Bali, public buildings, temples and palaces. Form a vast complex of gates, a tower with a wooden gong and three buildings, palaces, stylized, typical for the three parts of the island - east, north and west. In the central Ghedung Karangasem are prehistoric artifacts, as well as Buddhist and Hindu bronzes. In Ghedung Buleleng, left, and we'll see items related to the rituals and ceremonies, including wedding dresses, dance masks, objects of silver and coins ukur that were used during the burial. In its right Ghedung Tabanan housed a collection of fabrics. Directly next to the museum we see Pura Yagatnata, co-temporary temple, dedicated to "God of gods" on behalf of the Widi Sangyanga Vasu, who is revered on the island in many guises. Inside, we see a lotus throne symbolizing the universe. His crowning gilded bas-relief depicting the deity. And the city's oldest temple Pura Maospahit is near Yalan Sutomo. XIV century brick building was destroyed during an earthquake in the early XX century. Enough to pass a few hundred meters south to the corner Yatan Thamrin and Yalan Hasanuddin open an oasis of peace and greenery. Behind the brick wall surrounding the Puri Pemekutan - once a palace, and now a beautiful hotel - we will see the building in a magnificent tropical garden. They can be found, for example, a collection of books made of palm leaves or old musical instruments. To the east of the capital, on the beach, Sanur is located, once a center of black magic, and now a resort town. Despite the many hotels built along the beach, Sanur has not lost its original character. Particularly clear, he appears during the local holidays, when there are unusual tan-tsevalnye submission. The town stands to see the house of Belgian artist Jean le de Mepre Meillet (1880-1958), who spent 26 years in Bali, as well as a museum dedicated to him. The museum building stands in a garden full of sculptures of the masters. Also noteworthy temples of Sanur. When we headed south, our view is sure to attract colorful Pura Segara, adorned with statues in bright colors.
