Address

Plaza de España in central Hagåtña, with the Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral beside it and the Guam Museum across the road

This was the site of the governor's palace when Spain ruled Guam. WWII bombing flattened most of it, leaving an arched gateway, a little pavilion called the Chocolate House and a few stone terraces scattered across the lawn. Next door, the white twin-towered Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral stands on the site of Guam's first church. Plaza, cathedral, the Guam Museum across the road and the Latte Stone Park a few minutes' walk away make an hour's history stroll.
