Historické miesta na Severných Marianách

Historic Sites

The Northern Mariana Islands preserve a complex history spanning ancient Chamorro culture and the pivotal battles of the Pacific Theater. At Saipan’s northern tip, Banzai Cliff and Suicide Cliff serve as solemn memorials to the thousands of Japanese civilians and soldiers who jumped to their deaths in 1944. Nearby, the Last Command Post occupies a natural limestone cave reinforced as a Japanese military bunker. On Tinian, West Field marks a significant World War II airfield, while Kalabera Cave contains ancient petroglyphs and served as a refuge during wartime.
