The Palace housed the office and residence of the Spanish Governor. It was destroyed in 1944 during the&nbsp;liberation of Guam, but portions of the foundation may still be seen.

Under the American administration, the Plaza was expanded to include a baseball field and badminton court. Today the Kiosko (bandstand) stands on&nbsp;what was once the baseball field. World War II brought more changes to the Plaza.&nbsp;

The Plaza de Espa&ntilde;a today continues to be the site for numerous social and civic functions, including the inauguration of the Governor of Guam &ndash; emphasizing its significance in Guam&#39;s history.

Plaza de España

Fort Nuestra Se&ntilde;ora de la Soled&aring;d, or Fort Soledad, the last of four Spanish fortifications built in the village of Hum&aring;tak/Umatac, is located atop a steep bluff called&nbsp;Chalan Aniti, or Path of the Ancestors.&nbsp;

It was constructed to strengthen the defenses of Guam&rsquo;s most prominent Spanish-era bay. It also helped to strengthen the flaws of the other forts built along Hum&aring;tak&rsquo;s coastline. The newly built fort features a barbette, a guardroom for officers and troops, and an arsenal storeroom. It can accommodate seven cannons&nbsp;fired on a fixed line over the parapet.

In the mid-1990s, restoration efforts were made to the area&rsquo;s stonework, and more recently, the community has undertaken several beautification projects to improve the historic landmark.&nbsp;

Senator Angel Leon Guerrero Santos Memorial Park is a place packed with artifacts and remains of the ancient Chamorros, earlier known as the Latte Stone Park, dedicated to Angel Anthony Leon Guerrero Santos III - a Chamorro rights activist, in 2005.&nbsp;

Besides being enveloped in lush greenery, the park has many latte stones that make for a fascinating sight. The Chamorro people used these lattes as building supports during earlier times. It is an excellent place to spend quality time knowing about historical events.

Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral Basilica is the first Catholic Church in Guam. The church was constructed in 1669-1670 by Chamorro under the direction of Padre Diego Luis de San Vitores on lands granted by Chief Quipuha, the ranking male of Hagatna at that time. Its structure survived until World War II when it was destroyed during the shelling of Hagatna in preparation for the American invasion.&nbsp;

It has been replaced and built as a proud memorial for the original structure that was demolished during World War II. The predecessor of the present-day Basilica was a chapel, also named Capilla, constructed of rough logs and a nipa thatch built within the perimeter of the Plaza.

The cathedral&#39;s construction in the middle of the capital city of Guam began in 1955 and was finished by 1958.&nbsp;It was the prime structure around which the administrative buildings were built.

Your Cathedral-Basilica is open to you. The Dulce Nombre de Maria Parish was founded by Blessed Diego Luis de San Vitores on 1669. The physical structure of the Cathedral-Basilica has been changed several times throughout the years, but the faith of the people who visit for prayer is the same. The faithful from Guam and Marianas Islands are able to visit the Mother Church of Archdiocese Agana. Although the parish is older than most modern societies, it still has a youthful and vibrant spirit.
