   Mayura Water Palace

   • Mataram, Indonesia
   • Sights › Palace

   This palace was built in 1744, and was once part of the Balinese kingdom's royal court in Lombok. It's a pleasant retreat now, popular with fishermen and families, but in 1894 it was the site of bloody battles between the Dutch and Balinese. The complex contains a large artificial lake, with a modest replica of a bale kambang (floating pavilion) in its centre, connected to the shoreline by a raised footpath. The original pavilion was a court of justice.

   You'll find that the entrance to the walled enclosure of the palace is on the western side, off Jl Selaparang.
