Bajra Sandhi Monument

Bajra Sandhi Monument is a building and museum in Denpasar with a distinctive rectangular shape rising 45 meters across three levels. The structure contains exhibition spaces and dioramas that display historical events and artifacts related to the region's past.

The monument was built to remember the battles against Dutch colonial rule, particularly the 1906 conflict when thousands of Balinese people died. These events marked a turning point in the local resistance and independence movements.

The name refers to a moment in Bali's resistance history, and visitors can sense this connection throughout the spaces dedicated to that period. The rooms tell of local traditions and how people preserved their identity during colonial times.

The building sits on Jl. Raya Puputan and is easy to locate, with separate opening hours for weekdays and weekends. Plan to spend time on multiple floors and wear comfortable shoes as you explore the exhibitions.

The design contains deliberately placed numbers that hint at a significant date in Indonesian history. These numerical details are hidden within the building's architecture and surprise attentive visitors.
