Malau02bbekula or the Royal Tombs is situated in central Nukuu02bbalofa in the Kingdom of Tonga . The Kings of Tonga and their very close relatives (wives, husbands, children) are buried there. Those who are a little farther away from the mainline (cousins, nephews, nieces, inlaws) are buried elsewhere, in other chiefly cemeteries. Kings from older times, (i.e. the Tuu02bbi Tonga dynasty), are mostly buried in the langi in Muu02bba.nnThe main royal tombs are located 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 adorned with traditional Tongan designs and symbols and is surrounded by a beautifully lawn.

Maka Fau2019akinanga: The Maka Fau2019akinanga (Leaning against the rock) is located approximately 100m from the Hau2019amonga u2018a Maui. Made from the same stone as the Hau2019amonga, the Maka Fau2019akinanga is a large stone slab standing upright with markings on the front resembling an indentation of a large head, shoulders and back. Oral stories recount the belief that Tuu2019i Tuu2019itatui (eleventh Tuu2019i Tonga) often sat against the Maka Fau2019akinanga and struck out with a staff at people so that they were kept at a safe distance for fear that they may make an assassination attempt.
