The San Antonio Bridge, located in Hagåtña, Guam, offers a glimpse into the island's rich colonial past. Constructed in 1800 during the Spanish administration of Governor Manuel Muro, the bridge was dedicated to San Antonio de Padua. The Chamorro people refer to it as Tollai Acho', meaning "stone bridge". Originally, the bridge spanned the Hagåtña River, connecting the pre-war districts of San Ignacio and Bilibic. For over 150 years, it served as a vital crossing point for locals and visitors alike. The scene around the bridge was once picturesque, with the river flowing parallel to the ocean, people strolling along the banks, and carabaos wading in the water. After World War II, the Hagåtña River was diverted, and the surrounding area was transformed into Sirena Park. Today, the bridge stands as a historical monument within the park, a testament to Guam's resilience. A statue of Sirena, a legendary mermaid from Chamorro folklore, can be seen near the bridge, adding a touch of local legend to the site. The bridge is listed on both the Guam and National Registers of Historic Places.
