Description
In the southern section of San Antonio a string of old missions remain as fine architectural examples of the Spanish era of Colonialism. Four of the five remaining Texas missions continue as active parishes of the Catholic Church and hold regular services. All four missions of the San Antonio Missions National Historic Park are open and allow for public tours.
The Mission San José y San Miguel de Aguayo, known as the Queen of the Missions, was founded in 1720. Considered a model among the Texas missions, San Jose was the largest of all the San Antonio River missions. The mission's stone walls, arches, bastions, a granary, and the magnificent church date back to the late 1700s.
