Istana Tampaksiring

Istana Tampaksiring features stone carvings, traditional Balinese structures, and large pools surrounded by tropical gardens in the mountains of Bali.

President Sukarno commissioned the construction of this governmental retreat between 1957 and 1961, during Indonesia's early period of independence.

The palace combines Indonesian architectural elements with detailed stone craftsmanship, displaying the expertise of local artisans through its decorative features.

Visitors can take guided tours of the palace grounds, which include access to the gardens, architectural structures, and information about Indonesian political history.

The palace sits near the Tirta Empul water temple, connecting governmental functions with traditional spiritual elements of Balinese culture.
