Guam’s cosmopolitan community is not only culturally diverse; it is also rich, unique and beautiful. Through Guam’s primary periods of history – Ancient Chamorro, Spanish, Japanese, and American – as well as through the many immigrants and visitors that Guam has seen throughout its existence, the various pieces of its history have combined to create the unique cultural heritage which the island today enjoys. From the architecture and religion of the Spanish to the deep-felt desires for community of the Chamorro and the sense of public unity and pride of the Americans, Guam is an island unique among its peers.
