Pura Taman Ayun, Mengwi

Royal temple of Mengwi
The literal translation of its name, 'Taman Ayun', is 'beautiful garden', as you can read in this post about its history and origin. Built in 1634 AD, it served as the family royal temple of the first Raja (king) of Mengwi, a city not far from Denpasar.
