Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral-Basilica

Located in the capital village of Agana, this location has been a church site since the day's of Padre Diego Luis de San Vitores, a Jesuit priest that began the Catholic mission on Guam, upon his arrival in1668. The site itself was donated to San Vitores by the Chamoru Chief Quipuha. Today this facility is still the centerpiece of the Catholic community. Its interior is quite beautiful with its high ceilings and intricate stained-glass windows.
