Mokuʻula, Archaeological site in Lahaina, United States.
The one-acre island contains remains of residential structures and ceremonial areas within Maluʻulu o Lele Park in western Maui County.
King Kamehameha III established his private residence at Mokuʻula from 1837 to 1845, making it a central location for Hawaiian governance.
The site holds deep spiritual significance as a piko energy center and contains burial places of multiple Hawaiian royal family members.
Archaeological excavations continue at the location, which lies beneath a baseball field constructed in 1919 when the area became a public park.
The island was once surrounded by Mokuhinia, a 17-acre spring-fed pond connected to Kihawahine, a lizard goddess in Hawaiian mythology.
