Royal Palace of Uvea, Royal palace in Mata-Utu, Wallis and Futuna.

The Royal Palace of Uvea stands on the island of Wallis, featuring a raised structure with a veranda and distinct architectural elements from the Pacific region.

Construction of the Royal Palace began in 1876 under the direction of Jean-Joseph David and concluded during the reign of Queen Amelia Tokagahahau Aliki.

The palace functions as the residence of the Lavelua, the traditional king of Uvea, where official ceremonies and territorial celebrations take place.

The palace grounds, located near the Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption Cathedral on Sagato-Soane Square, maintain specific visiting protocols for guests and photographers.

This palace represents the first building constructed on stilts in Wallis, incorporating both local and Tongan architectural influences in its design.
