See a piece of Cook Islands royal history at Aumaru Palace (Tinomana Ariki), the former residence of Tinomana Mereana Ariki, a sovereign ruler from 1848 to 1908. Built by the British, this historic palace stands near Arorangi Church and reflects the island’s transition to Christianity—its traditional Māori name, Au Maru, means "The Peace Brought by Christianity." A significant landmark, the palace offers a glimpse into the legacy of the Tinomana Ariki lineage.
