Kaniakapupu ("the singing of the land shells") is the now dilapidated summer palace of king Kamehameha III and his queen Kalama on Oahu in Hawaii.
[edit] History
The palace was completed in 1845 and was a place for entertaining foreign celebrities, chiefs, and commoners.
On Hawaiian Restoration Day in 1847, a luau attended by an estimated ten thousand people gathered at the palace.
