Originally built for Queen Pomare IV two years after her death, this tomb was in fact requisitioned by her son, renowned for his ingratitude. Located on Pointe Outuaiaiai, this large coral building was completed in 1879 in place of a monumental church built in 1815 by his ancestor King Pomare II, a Christian convert. Queen Pomare IV, after half a century of reign, was given her own tomb next to the church, but her son Pomare V had no qualms about removing her ashes and being buried here in 1891.

Le tombeau est sympa mais entouré d'un parking, donc pas top pour le lieux ou prendre des photos.

Lieux historique original et rapide à visiter, car le tombeau étant constamment fermé, il ne se contemple que de l'extérieur. Attention, il se situe sur un terrain avec des horaires d'ouverture au public spécifique. Se renseigner auprès de l'office du Tourisme de Tahiti.
