Pu'uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park
The City of Refuge, known in Hawaiian as Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau, is a sacred historical site on the Kona coast of Hawaiʻi Island. In ancient Hawaiʻi, it served as a place of sanctuary for those who had broken kapu (sacred laws), lost in battle, or were facing punishment. By reaching the puʻuhonua, individuals could receive absolution and protection after completing prescribed rituals conducted by kahuna (priests). The site was also a place of refuge for defeated warriors and a center of spiritual power for Hawaiian royalty. Surrounded by massive stone walls and dotted with carved kiʻi (wooden images), Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau reflects the deep spiritual, social, and legal traditions of old Hawaiʻi. Today, it is preserved as Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park, honoring Native Hawaiian culture and the enduring values of forgiveness, protection, and renewal.
