Introduction

The Puʻukoholā Heiau temple is slightly north of Hapuna Beach and was built in 1791. It was the last temple built before the Western influence reached the Hawaiian Islands and is also the largest. At the time, King Kamehameha I accepted the suggestion from the priests to build the temple and dedicate it to the war god, and he eventually unified Hawaii.
