Sumay Cemetery – The Spanish and Chamorro Sumay cemetery is all that is left of the village of Sumay, the first village attacked by the Japanese in World War II. The United States now uses Sumay as part of the American Naval Station located today; however, the cemetery’s oldest headstone dates the deceased from 1812.
Merizo Bell Tower – In an attempt to create a higher standard of living for the Merizo people, this tower was build in 1910 to announce town events, religious times, and other directions for the village. This bell tower is no longer being used but still remains one of the most famous landmarks in the South of Guam.
