Nan Madol
It is best known as the location of the ruined city of Nan Madol, the capital of the Saudeleur dynasty until 1628, which consisted of a series of artificially constructed islets off Temwen's southern coast.[3][2][4][5][6]
Along with the rest of Pohnpei, it forms a large inlet called Madolenihmw Bay.
