The Blanjong Pillar is probably the top ‘attraction’ in Sanur and is famous for being the oldest historical artefact in Bali. Dating from 914 AD, the pillar is basically a stone inscription which was fashioned at the time of the first king of Bali, Sri Kesari Waemadewa. The pillar is an enigmatic attraction and it has not been translated as the text is in ancient Sanskrit and Balinese.
You will find it in a sleepy side street off Jalan Danau Poso, so walk along the road until you are in front of Pura Blanjong and take the alleyway on the left to get to the stone.
