Pohnpei

Spanish Wall

The Spanish Wall, the deteriorating remnant of Spanish Fort Alphonso XIII in Kolonia. When built, the wall was about 800 metres in length and 2.4 metres in height. The wall was built by Spanish administrators of Pohnpei in 1887 after a local uprising drove the local Spanish authorities onto a ship in the harbour. Most of the wall was taken down by the German administration that took over in the early 20th century, after the Spanish–American War. The remains of the wall, about 210 metres and two arches, are now part of a local park.
