The San Vitores Martyrdom Site, located 0.7 miles south of Bijia Point off Guam Highway 4 in Tamuning, Guam, has significance from 1672. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
It is an important site in marking where Father Diego Luis de San Vitores was killed, and for association with the Spanish-Chamorro Wars against the imposition of Catholic Christianity in Guam. At the time of NRHP listing, the site was marked by a wooden cross and by a historical plaque placed there in 1940.[2]
