Description
Puri Buleleng offers a new variety for tourists traveling to North Bali. If so far Buleleng tourism is widely known for its beautiful beaches and mountains, complete with its challenging natural attractions, now in Buleleng, castle tourism is opened. The castle which is open to the public as part of the leisure area is Puri Agung Singaraja or commonly called Puri Gede Buleleng on Jalan Mayor Metra Singaraja. In addition to witnessing the unique architectural strokes on its ancient buildings, this castle also provides knowledge about cultural patterns which in many ways are different from the castles in South Bali.
The Royal Palace Singaraja, often referred to as Puri Agung or Puri Gede, was built by King Ki Gusti Anglurah Pandji Sakti on March 30, 1604. This marked the beginning of the Buleleng Kingdom. Historically, Radja Ki Gusti Anglurah Pandji Sakti once ruled from Java to Indonesian Timor. Although without political power at this time, the royal family and their palaces are an important part of North Bali's rich, cultural heritage.
