• Royal Tombs - Malaʻekula, or the Royal Tombs, is located in central Nukuʻalofa in the Kingdom of Tonga. The Kings of Tonga and their immediate family members (spouses, children) are interred here. Relatives further removed from the main line (cousins, nephews, nieces, in-laws) are buried in other chiefly cemeteries. Kings from earlier times, such as those from the Tuʻi Tonga dynasty, are primarily buried in the langi in Muʻa.

The main royal tombs are situated at the Mala’ekula site, which includes the tombs of the first five kings of Tonga: King George Tupou I, King George Tupou II, Queen Salote III, King Taufa’ahau Tupou IV, and King George V. Each tomb is decorated with traditional Tongan designs and symbols and is surrounded by a beautifully maintained lawn.
