Puri Agung Karangasem
Anak Agung Gede Jelantik, the first king
of Karangasem Kingdom, built puri Agung Karangasem or Karangasem
Palace in 19th Century. This tourist destination is visited
for its unique architecture, which is the combination of Balinese,
Chinese and European architectures.
The location of Karangasem Palace is in the center of Amlapura,
approximately 78 km from Denpasar. As mentioned before, the
architecture of Puri Agung Karangasem is the combination of
three different styles. Balinese architecture can be found
on the carving of Hindu statues and the relief on the walls
of the building. The European influence is seen in the style
of the main building with its large veranda, while the Chinese
architecture is implied in the style of the windows, the door
and its other ornaments.
Puri Agung Karangasem consists of three parts, namely Bencingah,
Jaba Tengah and Maskerdam. Bencingah is the front part of
the Palace, where traditional art performances take place.
Jaba Tengah is set as the Palace Garden with a big pond. In
the middle of the pond, there is a building called ‘Balai
Gili’ or floating building. There are 2 old lychee trees
here. The third part is Maskerdam. This name was derived from
the name Amsterdam, a city in Netherlands. This building was
constructed when the King of Karangasem began his relationship
with the Dutch government.
