Tamaudun
Tamaudun is the royal mausoleum of the Second Shō dynasty of Ryukyu at Shuri on Okinawa, built in 1501 by King Shō Shin to receive the remains of his father Shō En. Cut into the rock and built of stone in imitation of a palace, it held the remains of later kings and queens. Damaged in the Battle of Okinawa and since restored, it is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
