Jalan Hasanuddin is a road in Denpasar that is famous for its gold and jewelry shops. Located on the northern end of Jalan Diponegoro, it was named after Sultan Hasanuddin (1631-1670) of the Gowa Kingdom in South Sulawesi. The sultan is a local hero for his resistance to Dutch encroachment and colonialism. The sultan was no match to the might of the Dutch East Indies Company, and in 1667, he was forced to sign a peace treaty that effectively gave his land to the Dutch.
