The Royal Palace in Nuku'alofa, a majestic waterfront edifice, is a symbol of the Kingdom of Tonga's royal heritage. Constructed in 1867 for King George Tupou I, the palace is built from kauri timber and combines traditional Tongan and colonial architectural styles. Serving as the official residence of the Tongan royal family, its distinctive light pink exterior and elegant colonial-era design make it a notable landmark. While the palace itself is not open to the public, visitors can appreciate its grandeur and historical significance from the outside.
