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.
