Iolani Bandstand

Iolani Palace, a living restoration of Hawaiian national identity, is a registered National Historic Landmark located in downtown Honolulu. Built in 1882 by King Kalakaua, it served as the official royal residence and the center of Hawaii's political and social life until the overthrow of the monarchy in 1893.

Meticulously restored to its former grandeur, the Palace features original furnishings and artifacts within its historic halls, telling the story of Hawaii's last reigning monarchs. The surrounding grounds hold significant cultural history, believed to be the site of an ancient heiau, further enriching the site's importance to Hawaiian heritage.
