Klungkung had an essential role in the history of Bali; it was the central kingdom in Bali during the 15-19 centuries.As the central kingdom and the role model, Klungkung had a variety of architectural works that were uniquely different from those in other regions.It was necessary to explore the potential and characteristics of its architecture so that it can be used as a reference in creating architectural style in Klungkung.To study this characteristic, this paper analyzed its building forms and ornaments.Kori agungs, the main gate of the Balinese temple, were selected as samples to outline the architectural style.This study used field works to measure the existing buildings, especially buildings that are still original or have undergone reconstruction using appropriate conservation ways.
