Pu'ukoholā Heiau National Historic Site

Official Travel Stamp Decal

Amid unrest and conflict, a prophecy declared that Kamehameha could end the war and unite the Hawaiian Islands by constructing a temple dedicated to Ku, the war god. Meaning “hill of the whale,” this dry-stack masonry temple overlooks the Pacific on the Kohala Coast. The site also includes ruins of a 1500s heiau and an offshore heiau.
