A sad reminder of the modern world is the
Bali Bomb Memorial
on Jalan Legian in Kuta, which commemorates the 202 victims of the
first Bali Bomb attack in October 2002. The site of the former Sari
Club, obliterated in one of the blasts, lies adjacent to the monument
and has not been redeveloped.
There are several monuments commemorating the
puputan
(suicidal fight to the death) of the Balinese against the Dutch
colonialists in the early 20th century. The two most famous are in the
town centre of Klungkung in East Bali and in Puputan Park, Denpasar.
