Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park

Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park, on the coast about 27 km south of Kailua-Kona, preserves a place of refuge where Hawaiians who had broken a kapu or fled battle could be spared. A massive lava-stone wall of the 16th century encloses the sanctuary, guarded by the rebuilt Hale o Keawe temple and its carved wooden kiʻi; the royal grounds and fishponds lie beside it.
