Masonic Lodge Ruins
Masonic Lodge
Fiji's first Masonic lodge, built in 1913, was gutted by arson during the 2000 coup unrest and only its stone walls remain.
The Levuka Masonic Lodge (Polynesia Lodge) was built in 1913 as a two-storey stone Neoclassical building and is one of the earliest Masonic lodges in the South Pacific. During the 2000 Fijian coup, rumours spread that the lodge had a tunnel linking it to the 'devil,' and a mob set it on fire. Today only the roofless stone walls and the portico remain, a testament to the town's changing history. Located in the centre of the old town, it can be viewed from the outside, and the Royal Hotel and Sacred Heart Church are both a few minutes' walk away.
