Introduction

The most important historical sites include The Spanish Wall and Catholic Bell Tower in Pohnpei, the Japanese Wartime Communication Centre at Xavier High School in Chuuk and the ruins of INSARU in Kosrae. The Sokehs Mass Grave holds the remains of 17 Pohnpeians who were executed by firing squad in 1911 for resisting the German administration. There are also small museums in Chuuk and Kosrae. The Enpein Marine Park and ancient ruins of Nan Madol in Pohnpei are well worth visiting. Pohnpei has magnificent waterfalls with pools that are ideal for bathing. Two of the most beautiful falls are Kepirohi and Sahwartik. All States have beautiful white sandy beaches.
