Plaza de España, Historic site and square in Hagåtña, Guam.

Plaza de España features three preserved structures from the colonial era: a three-arch gate, an elevated azotea, and a distinctive Chocolate House.

The square served as the location of the Governor's Palace from 1734 until World War II, when most structures were damaged during the 1944 bombardment.

The plaza maintains architectural elements from Spanish colonial rule, including stone walls and traditional building designs that reflect Guam's administrative heritage.

Visitors can access the plaza in downtown Hagåtña near the Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral-Basilica, with parking available in surrounding streets.

The Chocolate House, where colonial governors received guests, stands as one of the few remaining original structures from the Spanish period in Guam.
