Pura Belanjong is a rather nondescript temple in Sanur. Its call to fame comes from the ancient stelae within its ground, known as the Prasasti Belanjong. The stelae was discovered only in 1932. Its inscription describes in Sanskrit a military expedition by Cri Kesari Warmadewa to Gurun and Suwal.

What makes this piece of ancient chronicle outstanding is that it was written in AD 914, and stands as the oldest existing inscription in Bali. Although the inscription is not entirely decipherable, it provides a glimpse into Sanur's position as a trading port over a thousand years ago.
