Taman Mayura

The garden features a rectangular pond with a floating pavilion named Bale Kambang, surrounded by four open structures and traditional Balinese architecture.

Built in 1866 by King Anak Agung Gde Ngurah Karangasem, the garden transformed from a weapons storage during colonial wars into a Dutch administrative office.

Three pairs of statues depicting Muslim leaders in Banjar attire stand around the Bale Kambang courtyard, reflecting the regional cultural influences.

The garden spans 33,877 square meters and contains walking paths, rest areas, and informational signs explaining the historical importance of different structures.

A bronze cannon remains near the Bale Kambang entrance while an iron cannon stands at the main entrance of the garden complex.
