ʻIolani Barracks, Military barracks in downtown Honolulu, United States.
The coral block structure features medieval castle elements with crenelated parapets, towers, and an open courtyard surrounded by functional rooms.
Built in 1870 by architect Theodore Heuck, the barracks housed 80 members of the Royal Guard until the Hawaiian monarchy overthrow in 1893.
The building represents the fusion of European military architecture with Hawaiian construction materials, using 4,000 coral blocks from local limestone sources.
The barracks currently functions as a visitor center for Iolani Palace, containing a gift shop, ticket office, and video theater for tourists.
In 1965, workers dismantled and reconstructed the entire structure stone by stone to accommodate the construction of Hawaii State Capitol.
