The San Antonio Bridge, or Spanish Bridge, is a historical landmark in Hagåtña, Guam, offering a tangible connection to the island's Spanish colonial era. Constructed in the 1800s by Spanish Governor Manuel Muro, it was originally built to facilitate crossing the Agaña River. The bridge withstood the bombings of Hagåtña during World War II, though its functionality diminished after the Agaña River's course was altered in the post-war period. The bridge is also known as Tolai Acho' in the local Chamorro language. Today, it stands as a U.S. National Historic Landmark and is the only remaining Spanish-era bridge in Hagåtña. A notable feature is the Sirena Mermaid statue located beneath the bridge, which adds a touch of local Chamorro folklore to the historical site. The statue depicts Sirena, a Chamorro girl who was cursed to become a mermaid for disobeying her mother. Across from the bridge stands a statue and monument honoring Don Pedro Martinez, a prominent businessman from Guam. While visiting, take a moment to appreciate the bridge's architecture and imagine its role in connecting communities in the past. The surrounding area offers a peaceful environment for a leisurely stroll, with the Chamorro Village located a short walk away.
