Pu'ukohola Heiau National Historic Site

Pu‘ukohola Heiau is one of the most famous heiau (temple) in the Hawaiian Islands. This heiau is an integral component of the traditional Hawaiian social, political, and religious systems, and a significant place in the history of King Kamehameha I, who brought the Hawaiian Islands together under one rule.
