Rapa Nui (Easter Island, Isla de Pascua) is an isolated island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, one of the most remote inhabited islands in the world. The island is most famous for its nearly 900 monumental statues called moai. These statues were carved from volcanic rock between the 13th and 16th centuries by the island's inhabitants.
In 1995, UNESCO designated Rapa Nui as a World Heritage Site, recognizing its cultural significance: "Rapa Nui, the indigenous name of Easter Island, bears witness to a unique cultural phenomenon. A society of Polynesian origin that settled there c. A.D. 300 established a powerful, imaginative, and original tradition of monumental sculpture and architecture, free from any external influence. From the 10th to the 16th century this society built shrines and erected enormous stone figures known as moai, which created an unrivaled cultural landscape that continues to fascinate people throughout the world."
