Discover the historically significant Puputan Square (Lapangan Puputan Badung), a solemn memorial park in the heart of Denpasar that commemorates one of Bali's most heroic yet tragic events. This peaceful urban oasis stands on the exact site where the royal palace of Denpasar once stood, before the devastating 1906 Puputan - a mass ritual suicide where nearly 4,000 Balinese people, including the royal family, chose death over surrender to Dutch colonial forces. The centerpiece bronze monument depicts a Balinese family in heroic pose, wielding traditional weapons and jewelry, symbolizing the unwavering spirit of resistance against foreign oppression. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens with shaded seating areas, decorative fountains, and peaceful walking paths, this sacred ground offers visitors a profound connection to Balinese history and culture. The square serves as both a place of remembrance and a popular gathering spot for locals, especially vibrant during lunchtime and sunset hours when vendors sell traditional snacks and families enjoy the tranquil atmosphere.
