History
Jaya Sabha Complex has a history that is closely related to Denpasar. In the past, Denpasar was the name for the favorite garden of the King of Badung, Kyai Jambe Ksatrya who lived in Puri Satria.The King of Badung really liked the beauty of nature, so he made a garden under a banyan tree. This garden is located on the north side of the market south of Puri Satria. The shape of this plant is unique because it has a place for cockfighting. This Denpasar Park became the pioneer of the Puri Denpasar complex which was built in 1788 by I Gusti Ngurah Made Pemecutan. After the Puri Denpasar complex was completed, the center of government of the Badung kingdom moved to Puri Denpasar.
During the Dutch era, Puri Denpasar was destroyed by the Dutch. This happened during the Puputan war in 1906. The Dutch then used it as the center of government for South Bali. During Dutch rule, this building was not changed at all in shape and placement in the palace. After Indonesia's independence, the government used it as the office and official residence of the governor of Bali.
