Agana Spanish Bridge, Historic stone bridge in Hagåtña, Guam.
The Agana Spanish Bridge is a stone arch structure in Hagåtña, Guam, with a rectangular cement feature beneath its span at the intersection of Aspenall Street. The stonework remains visible in its design and forms a notable landmark in the central part of the city.
The structure was built around 1800 during the tenure of Spanish governor Manuel Muro and connected the districts of San Ignacio and Bilibic across the former Hagåtña River. A major restoration in 1966 brought changes to the original construction.
Locals call this structure Sagon I Tolai Acho, reflecting the Spanish colonial architectural heritage that shaped Guam's built landscape. The stone design you see today carries marks of that era in its form and presence.
The site sits within a park setting in central Hagåtña and is accessible via Route 1, making it easy for visitors to reach. Its location on Aspenall Street means you can walk to it without difficulty.
Following a 1966 restoration, portions of the original structure were replaced with concrete walls, showing how preservation sometimes requires compromise. This change remains visible in the structure today and tells a story of how repairs were done in that era.
