Levuka is a town on the island of Ovalau, Fiji, founded as a European trading settlement and whaling port in the early 19th century. It was the seat of Cakobau's government, the place where the Deed of Cession was signed in 1874, and the colony's first capital until 1882, when the capital moved to Suva. The historic port town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
