Puʻukoholā
Heiau, national historic site (86 acres), Kawaihae, Hawaiʻi. The heiau, or shrine, was built by Kamehameha I and completed in 1791. Kamehameha had acted upon the advice of a priest who had predicted he would successfully unify the Hawaiian Islands if he built a heiau to Kūkaʻilimoku, his war god, on Puʻukohalā, a prominent hill overlooking Kawaihae Bay. The unification was completed in 1810 and the Hawaiian monarchy lasted for 83 years until 1893. Puʻukoholā was designated as a historical landmark in 1928 and a national historic site on August 17, 1972. Lit., whale hill.
