French: Domaine du chef Roi Mata
The Chief Roi Mata’s Domain is a World Heritage site in Vanuatu defined by the UNESCO in 2008 and definitely a recommended cultural sightseeing location.
It is on position 396 (325, 631) in our monthly survey..

"Chief Roi Mata’s Domain is the first site to be inscribed in Vanuatu. It consists of three early 17th century AD sites on the islands of Efate, Lelepa and Artok associated with the life and death of the last paramount chief, or Roi Mata, of what is now Central Vanuatu. The property includes Roi Mata’s residence, the site of his death and Roi Mata’s mass burial site. It is closely associated with the oral traditions surrounding the chief and the moral values he espoused. The site reflects the convergence between oral tradition and archaeology and bears witness to the persistence of Roi Mata’s social reforms and conflict resolution, still relevant to the people of the region."
