ʻIolani Palace
Let me show you ʻIolani Palace, which was started in 1879 and features Hawaiian architecture. This palace was the royal residence for the rulers of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi, beginning with Kamehameha III in 1845 and ending with Queen Liliʻuokalani in 1893. After the royal era, the building had a different role, serving as the capitol building for the Provisional Government, Republic, Territory, and State of Hawaiʻi until 1969. Today, it is a National Historic Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. You can visit the site now because it was restored and opened to the public as a museum in 1978. I've noticed the grounds are a great spot to take a breather while you admire the building.
