Public Monument and Memorials Pahlawan Perang Kemerdekaan Republik Indonesia 1945

Bali has a story of the struggle of the heroes to fight for the Republic of Indonesia from Dutch colonialism, namely Puputan Margarana. Puputan Margarana is a battle of Ciung Wanara troops led by Lieutenant Colonel I Gusti Ngurah Rai in the face of the NICA army formed by the Dutch on November 20, 1946.

To commemorate and appreciate the services of the struggle of the heroes, now in the area of ​​the battle was erected a hero monument called the Puja Bangsa Park. Meanwhile, to appreciate the struggle of the troops Ciung Wanara, the city park in the city of Gianyar was named Ciung Wanara City Park.

In addition, to commemorate the heroic stories of our heroes, the Balinese government also built monuments or museums such as the Monumen Perjuangan Rakyat Bali at Puputan Renon Field or better known as the Bajra Sandhi Renon.

Because of its location in Mumbul Park (Nusa Dua), this monument is better known as the Taman Mumbul Monument. This monument is located on the pass by Ngurah Rai, it is very easy to find if you want to visit this place. This place can be reached with a distance of about 3 km from the hotel area in Nusa Dua, and about 10 minutes from the Ngurah Rai International Airport.

In here visitors can relax enjoying the scenery and see every detail of the beauty of the building of this monument.

Aside from being a historical tourist spot, this monument is also used as a prawedding photo for couples who are going to get married, because this monument architectures  is very beautiful, unique and artistic and for the prawedding fee is Rp,1.500.000. The facilities at this monument such as toilet parking area,  near from Laota Restaurand and Handicraft souvenir centre and the entrance ticket is Rp 40.000.

This monument is still quiet from visitors because it has not been managed optimally by the local government. If this monument is managed optimally, there will certainly be many visitors such as the Bajra Sandhi monument which every day is never empty of visitors. Hopefully later this monument will be able to become a magnet for tourists to visit Nusa Dua and certainly become a tourism icon of Nusa Dua. (Liza Anggraeni/5D/18)
