PURA TAMAN AYUN
Located east of the great road, this temple is the second largest Balinese temple after that of Besakih. Founded in 1740, it is the work of Cokorda Munggu, the most famous king of Mwengi, who moved the seat of the kingdom of Kapal to Mengwi. The great monarch built another palace, Puri Gedé Mengwi a little distance from Pura Taman Ayu. The temple is surrounded by moat. Among the rows of altars where the gods come to visit at the ceremonies (palinggih), you will see the eastern oriented paibon which represents the royal altar. The size of the pavilions, their insertion into the great arrangement of the moat and terraces, the location and height of the méru, make Du Ayun one of the most beautiful Balinese temples.
