Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral Basilica
The Catedral Basilica del Dulce Nombre de Maria (Spanish: Catedral Basílica del Dulce Nombre de Mara) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Guam. The Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Agana has his seat here. It stands on the site of the island's first Catholic church, which was built in 1669 under Padre San Vitores' supervision. The current structure towers over the palm palms and is a well-known landmark in Hagta. The image of Santa Marian Kamalen, Guam's Patroness, is enshrined in the church.
Despite the fact that the physical structure has altered numerous times over the ages, the faith of people who come to pray has not. The faithful of Guam and the Marianas Islands worship at the Mother Church of the Archdiocese of Agana. Despite the fact that this parish is older than most modern cultures, we thank God for the joyous, youthful, and invigorating atmosphere that pervades our midst. It is widely considered as one of the most beautiful historical sites in Guam.
