There is not much of any documentation on the site after 1847. It seems to be unknown why it was abandoned and what lead to its deterioration. Historical documentation listed the site as "an old ruin" as early as 1874 and there is no account of what caused the initial destruction of the site, some time between 1847-1874. There is little left of the site other than the remnants of some walls. It is also the site of a heiau complex (sacred temple site).  Basic Information Type: Building Status: Abandoned Accessibility: Easy Recommendation: check it out if you're nearby  Physical Information Address Nuuanu Pali Road O'ahu, Hawaii United States Owner: State of Hawaii See a map of this location  Hazards mud, mosquitos  Interesting Features Historic site of Hawaiian monarchy.
