Built between 1912 and 1921, the floating gardens of Taman Ujung are the work of King Anak Agung, the last king to govern the region of East Bali.

Although Indonesia was then under Dutch rule, the kings of the provinces continued to exercise local power. The place was carefully chosen for the presence of sacred water sources beneath a lake that opens onto the sea. It was the king's duty to transmit spiritual values to his people, and the design of his garden illustrates this approach.
