Bajra Sandhi Museum
The monument is situated in Denpasar in front of the Bali Governor's Office. The monument was built in 1987, inaugurated by president Megawati Sukarnoputri on June 14, 2003. Bajra Sandhi Monument is a historical memorial to the Balinese people's fight for independence from Dutch colonialism.
The Bajra Sandhi Monument is easily accessible and lies on the main road in a strategic area, which is set right in the centre of the Renon Square. It is standing up in the middle of Denpasar town, flat green lawns, gardens and palms of the square.
The monument was originally built in 1987 and opened to the public in 2003. It stands to represent a long history of struggle of the Balinese people, namely the invasion of the Dutch in 1906 and 1908. The invasions saw the deaths of over 1,000 Balinese people, many of whom were civilians, including the Balinese rulers of Badung and Tabanan. The purpose of the statue now is to devote the soul and spirit of Balinese people's struggle as well as digging, maintaining, developing and preserving Balinese cultures.
