Tirta Gangga Water Palace
Tirta Gangga Water Palace, is a maze of pools and fountains surrounded by a lush garden, stone carvings and statues. The one hectare complex was built in 1946 by the late king of Karangasem but was destroyed almost entirely by the eruption of nearby mount Agung in 1963.  It has been lovingly re-built and restored and has an air of authentic royal magnificence. The center piece of the palace is an eleven tiered fountain and there are many beautiful carvings and statues adorning the gardens.
 
The Ujung Water Palace
The Ujung water palace, which is called Taman Soekasada Ujung by the locals, was built by the late king of Karangasem, I Gusti Bagus Djelantik who reigned in Karangasem from 1909 until 1945. The palace was destroyed several times, during World War II when its iron bars structure was dismantled and used for weaponry production and after the 1963 eruption of mount Agung. The government and the royal family of Karangasem reconstructed the palace and restored its former glory. Amankila’s architect, Ed Tuttle, drew upon the classical beauty of Ujung for inspiration in creating Amankila.   When visiting the water palaces it is also perfect to combine with a trip to Puri Agung, the king’s palace in Karangasem.
