Fort Santa Agueda
Fort Santa Agueda (Fort Apugan)
A Spanish-era fort ruin on a hilltop in Hagåtña, overlooking the capital and Hagåtña Bay. The sunset view is spectacular.
Fort Santa Agueda, also known as Fort Apugan, was built around 1800. It is the only surviving fortification from the Spanish period in Hagåtña. Only the stone gun batteries and a few replica cannons remain, but the elevated site offers wide views. From the battery you can look down over the city, the harbor, and the coral reef along the west coast. The sunset and the lights of the city after dark are both worth seeing, and it is a popular spot for locals to take wedding photos. Admission is free, and it is open all day. The drive up from downtown Hagåtña takes about 5 minutes, but parking is limited. Walking up alone at night is not recommended.
