O'ahu - Honolulu - Nu'uanu Valley: Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii - Kalākaua crypt

The Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii, also known as Mauna 'Ala (Fragrant Hills), located at 2261 Nu'uana Avenue, is the final resting place of Hawaii's two prominent royal families: the Kamehameha Dynasty and the Kalākaua Dynasty. The 2.7-acre site was designed by architect Theodore Heuck and initially planned by King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma following the death of their son in 1862. After it was completed in 1865, the remains of seven monarchs were transferred from the first Royal Mausoleum at 'Iolani Palace. Today, Mauna Ala is recognized by Congress as sacred land and not part of public domain.

The grounds of the mausoleum are surrounded by a black fence, bearing the royal seal of the Kingdom of Hawaii at the gate. The former mausoleum building, now a small gothic chapel sits in the center, immediately behind the tomb of Kalākaua Crypt, and to the right of the Kamehameha tomb, Bishop Monument, and Wyllie tomb.

The Kalākaua Crypt was built between 1907 and 1910, and is still unsealed for additional descendents (although it appears to be out of space). On June 24, 1910, Queen Lili'uokalani oversaw the moving of Queen Kapi'olani's family, to the 'Ewa side of the wall, and King Kalākaua's family, to the Waikiki side of the wall, from the old mausoleum building.

Among those entombed in the Kalākaua crypt are: King Kalākaua, Queen Kapi'olani, Queen Lili'uokalani, Prince Consort John Owen Dominis, High Chief Caesar Kaluaiku Kapa'akea, High Chiefess Analea Keohokālole, Princess Miriam Likelike, Archibald Scott Cleghorn, Princess Victoria Kai'ulani, Prince William Pitt Leleiohoku II, Prince Moses Kapa'akea, Prince James Kaliokalani, Prince Kinini Kapa'akea, Princess Anna Ka'iulani, Princess Kaimina'auao, Princess Virginia Poʻomaikelani, Princess Victoria Kūhiō Kekaulike, Prince David Kawānanakoa, Abigail Campbell Kawānanakoa, Prince Edward Abner Keli'iahonui, and Prince Kūhiō Kalaniana'ole.
