Plaza de Espana, Hagatna

Its a plaza with not much to do, but you can find some nice spots to take some pictures, especially if you are visiting as a turist. Near by, there are few murals that are quite pretty.

If you love history (pre-world war I/II) then this is a must see. This was the seat of power for the Spanish Empire and later the colonial ambition of the United States, before being toppled by the Japanese Empire and again retaken by the United States after WWII. You can really feel the history oozing from the soil. The plaza itself still has the original foundation stones from the Spanish Era. If its your first time here then you should allocate at least 3-4 hours for the entire plaza and surrounding area. Its walking distance to the famous Latte Stone Park (Angel Santos Memorial Park) where you can see the ancient megalithic stone pillars that were made by ancient chamorros, as well as visit the Agana Catholic Church whos land was given to the church by Chief Kapua, whos statue stands outside the Guam Museum across the church, for more modern sights you can walk across the street to Chamorro Village (basically a giant outdoor food court/shopping bazaar) and also visit the Paseo Park that over looks the Agana Harbor and of course the Plaza De Espana itself. ProTip #1 Check out the living Guam Seal thats on the right side of Paseo Park. Its a little hidden gem and gives a great insight into how the Guam Flag/Guam Seal was created. ProTip #2 if you find yourself going on a Wednesday (and you totally should) then get there BEFORE 4pm because parking will be nonexistent as every Wednesday is the “Chamorro Village Night Market” (think small town festival with all the carnival rides and foods like deep fried twinkies and turkey legs everywhere)
