Description
Reconstructed home of the alii (royalty) at the Pu'uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park on the south Kona coast of the island of Hawaii. The name means "place of refuge" in the Hawaiian language. In pre-contact times, if someone broke kapu, if they could elude their pursuers and reach this spot they were spared from the death penalty. https://www.nps.gov/puho/index.htm
