Pura Taman Ayun

Bali is perhaps the site of the world that has the most temples, and, as well as the huge temples that are known, there are also the wealthy families who build temples in their homes for their own private uses. One of the most famous and beautiful temples is the Temple of Taman Ayun, dating from the early 1600s. This temple was built by the Mengwi royal family, and the most remarkable thing about it are its gardens, and its twenty-nine Meru shrine towers. In one of its towers (which is at the entrance) you can go up and see a wooden bell as well as stunning views of the gardens and moats filled with water coming from a nearby river.
