Discover more about Latte of Freedom

The Latte of Freedom is located at the Ricardo J. Bordallo Governor's Complex in Hagåtña, Guam. It stands as a monument that embodies the Chamorro culture. The monument is inspired by the latte stone, a unique structure to the Mariana Islands consisting of a pillar and capstone. Ancient latte stones were used as foundations for important Chamorro buildings, representing strength and endurance. The Latte of Freedom was envisioned by Governor Ricardo J. Bordallo in 1976 to be a Chamorro cultural monument, mirroring the Statue of Liberty. A scaled-down version of the original plan was completed in 2010. The tower is made of reinforced concrete and structural steel beams and designed to withstand typhoons. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views from the tower. Visitors can also explore the Hall of Governors, located next to the Latte of Freedom, which commemorates the governors of Guam since the 1950 Organic Act.
