About the place
A carved stone memorial on Jl. Legian at the site of the 2002 bombing with the names of the 202 victims. For Australians it is a place of remembrance visited on purpose, and a ceremony is held every year on 12 October.
The memorial reminds you that security in Kuta was rebuilt after 2002: screening at hotels and clubs became the norm.
