SINGARAJA AREA
Singaraja is the largest city after Denpasar. The population

Singaraja has a historical library, The Gedong Kirtya

collection of lontar, which is a traditional books emblazoned
on palm leaf strips and potted between two pieces of wood
or bamboo.
East from Singaraja, the land is dry and agricultural
diversity along the coast is evidenced by the cultivation
of grapes, cocoa, cloves, vanilla and other spices. In
this area, tourists can visit Pura Beji, a temple dedicated
to rice goddess, Dewi Sri. Other temples that can be found

Six km from western part of Singaraja is an 8 km long
stretch of black sand beach encompassing Anturan, Tukad
Mangga, Kalibukbuk, Kaliasem, and Temukus villages, collectively
called Lovina.
