Water Palace Mayyura

Mayura Water Palace is located in the center of business life in the area Kakranagera. Its strategic location and historical significance make it popular among tourists, both local and foreign. At a time when there ruled Balinese princes, Mayura was the administrative and political center of the island of Lombok. This quiet place is the antithesis of the noisy main street Kakranagery and is a fine example of traditional Balinese architecture.

The palace was built in 1744 for the Balinese royal court, situated around a large square pool surrounded by a garden and surrounded by a low stone wall, decorated with intricate carvings depicting animals. Location of the palace pool is designed to enhance the beauty of the park. At its center is open on one side of the pavilion, which can be reached through a specially built bridge. In the old days there was a court conference hall. The original structure is called Bale Kambang (in the local language means "small island"), its location in the middle of the pool like a small island in the ocean. This pavilion is a bit like on the other, located in Klungkung in Bali, but is much smaller and not so richly decorated. They say that such floating pavilions were built in case of persecution during the Dutch colonial era. Above the water surface and towering sculpture of a peacock, and statues of Western Asia. They were established in gratitude to the king for his friend the governor of Pakistan for his proposal to get rid of snakes using peacocks. The palace complex mangosteen grows a lot of trees, which create a cool shade in the park.

The word "Mayura" has a Sanskrit origin and means "peacock". It is said that during the reign of King Anak Agung Ngurah Karangasem, in the palace garden inhabited by many snakes, which created a lot of inconvenience, and the king decided to ask for help from his best friend, the governor of Pakistan in the fight against them. So there were peacocks in the garden.

In 1894, when the Balinese and Dutch colonists were fighting for control of Lombok, Mayura Water Palace was the site of some of the fiercest fighting. Dutch army camped outside the palace, which was a serious strategic miscalculation: the Balinese, armed with rifles and shot from the walls of the palace all the enemy forces. Several old Dutch cannons and Balinese statues still cherish the memory of those events.

A stone's throw from the Palace of Mayura is the largest Balinese temple. It was built in 1720 and is still used by Hindu believers for religious holidays every full moon, and on special occasions. One of the most important ceremony is a celebration of the full moon Prunama Kimpat, the fourth month of the Balinese calendar. The shrine is open to tourists, but want to visit it have to wear a sarong. If you believe the keepers of the park, his spirit dwells in this temple.

Sunda Kelapa Harbor

Sunda Kelapa harbor - an old port, which is located at the mouth of the river Ciliwung. The name of the river Ciliwung translated from Indonesian language sounds like "muddy river". This river is the largest river in the city of Jakarta. At a time when the island of Java was colonized by the Dutch, the river Ciliwung was important, and the port - an important stop on the path of many merchant ships from around the world. In addition, the river has been a source of fresh water for the residents of the city. Unfortunately, the water Ciliwung polluted by industrial and domestic discharges, but despite this, the water is stored in a sufficiently large number of fish and crabs, shrimp and other crustaceans.

Sunda Kelapa port was once the main port of Sunda kingdom, from which begins the story of the Indonesian capital of Jakarta. Translated from the Sundanese language, "Kelapa" - a local variety of the coconut, hence the name of the harbor. In the XIII century, trade is one of the sources of income of the Kingdom of Sunda. It should be noted that the port of Sunda Kelapa was one of the few then existing Indonesian ports that are maintained trade relations with Europe and took their ships.

In 1527 Sunda Kelapa was attacked by forces of the Sultanate of Demak, and soon Sunda Kelapa renamed Jakarta. Later, the port has become a part of the Sultanate of Bantam. During the colonization of the Netherlands near the port it was built a new town, called Batavia. As the main port it functioned until almost the end of the XIX century until it was built Tanjung Priok new port to unload the flow of arriving ships. The new port is located 9 km to the east of the old port. After Indonesia became independent, the port of Batavia again returned to its original name - the Sunda Kelapa as a tribute to the historical past of the harbor, was at the forefront of Jakarta.
