The San Antonio Bridge, or Tollai Acho (stone bridge), is a historical landmark in Hagåtña, Guam, offering a glimpse into the island's Spanish colonial past. Constructed in 1800 during the administration of Governor Manuel Muro, the bridge was dedicated to San Antonio de Padua, whose image is carved on a keystone that remains visible today. Originally built as part of the Spanish coastal highway, the bridge once spanned the Hagåtña River. However, the river's course was altered after World War II during the reconstruction of Guam's capital. The bridge withstood over 150 years of history, including the Battle of Guam during World War II. Restoration efforts were undertaken in 1966 to preserve this important piece of Guam's heritage. Near the bridge, visitors can find the Sirena statue, which depicts a Chamorro legend of a girl who loved the sea so much she transformed into a mermaid. The bridge is also located near the Chamorro Village, where visitors can experience local culture and cuisine.
