Piti Guns, Military installation in Piti, Guam.
Three Japanese Vickers Model 3 140mm coastal defense guns stand on hills above Piti village, positioned in earthen and concrete emplacements.
The Japanese military installed these weapons, manufactured in 1914, during their occupation of Guam between 1941 and 1944 to protect Apra Harbor.
Local Chamorro residents were compelled to transport and position these heavy steel weapons up steep terrains while enduring harsh conditions.
Visitors can locate the trailhead at coordinates 13.4621N, 144.6942E, behind a church social hall on Father Mel Street in Piti.
These weapons, designed to strike targets up to ten miles away, remained unused as they were not operational when American forces arrived in 1944.
