The Semara Pura Complex is on the original site of the Klungkung Royal Palace which was destroyed during conflicts with the Dutch. It is a walled complex containing the 'Kertha Gosa' or Hall of Justice and the 'Bale Kambang', a floating pavilion. Both are examples of Klungkung architecture. But the main attraction is their ceilings. Both ceilings contain rows of beautiful paintings. Adorning the well maintained grounds are many statues. There is a small entry fee to the complex, and visitors need to be dressed appropriately. Sarongs can be hired at the entry.
