Next to the skyscrapers of the island’s main business district you’ll find important landmarks like the ʻIolani Palace, the King Kamehameha I statue, the Kawaiahaʻo Church and the Aloha Tower. This area is also the seat of Hawaiʻi’s government, home to the Hawaiʻi State Capitol, Washington Place (the governor’s mansion) and Honolulu Hale (Honolulu’s City Hall).
