Fort Talietumu, Wallis island (Uvea), Pacific Ocean - the Tongan fort Talietumu on the island of Wallis of Wallis and Futuna in the Pacific Ocean. Let's travel to the island of Wallis in the Pacific Ocean and let's walk around the Tongan fort Talietumu located in the remote island of Wallis, of the French territory of Wallis and Futuna in the Pacific Ocean. This is the Tongan fort of Talietumu, built in the 1400s during the peak of the Tongan Empire in the Pacific.
The Tongan fort Talietumu or Kolo Nui is an archaeological site in Wallis and Futuna in the southwestern part of the Pacific Ocean.
Talietumu is situated about 9 km (5.6 mi) southwest of the capital of Mata-Utu and northeast of Halalo in the Mu'a district on Wallis Island (Uvea).
The Tongan fort Talietumu was a fortified Tongan settlement called Kolo Nui and the whole fortress is surrounded by a strong defensive wall build of basalt with several entrances.[2] Inside the fort there are a few preserved buildings and structures, lawns and the central elevated platform called Talietumu (a Marae or Mala´e, "Sacred Place"). The platform is of circular prolonged shape upon a circular stockade base. Raised walkways paved in stone start from the mala'e and radiate outward from within the fort.
Wallis and Futuna is a French island collectivity in the South Pacific between Tuvalu to the northwest, Fiji to the southwest, Tonga to the southeast, Samoa to the east, and Tokelau to the northeast. Though both French and Polynesian, Wallis and Futuna is distinct from the entity known as French Polynesia.
