Located in the northern part of the island of Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia in the Western Pacific Ocean, Kolonia is the state's political, economic, and cultural center and one of the Federation's major transportation hubs. The seaside city enjoys a tropical maritime climate, warm and humid all year round, and is surrounded by coral reefs and turquoise waters, making it a place of natural beauty. Historically, Colonia has been colonized by Germany, Japan and the United States, leaving behind architectural monuments in a mixture of styles, such as Japanese-era watchtowers and German colonial churches, which tell a unique story of colonial history. The city is small but vibrant, and its inhabitants have preserved the traditional Micronesian culture, with seafaring skills and handicrafts passed down to this day. As the gateway to the natural wonders of Pohnpei's interior, such as Mount Namaaduwad, Kolonia combines history and tropical flavor, making it a must-visit destination for exploring the culture of eastern Micronesia.
