Hawaiian Heritage Sites

Honolulu's heritage sites offer a window into the Kingdom of Hawaii's transition to a U.S. state. The collection includes the ʻIolani Palace, the only royal palace on American soil, and the Kawaiahaʻo Church, constructed from 14,000 coral blocks. Visitors can explore the Greek Revival architecture of Washington Place and the Mediterranean style of Honolulu Hale. The list also features monuments like the King Kamehameha statue and the Aloha Tower, a former lighthouse that served as a welcoming landmark for mid-20th-century travelers.
