Interesting Places to Visit
Mission San Jose — Founded in 1720, it became the largest and best known of the Texas missions, with up to 300 inhabitants at one time. The mission is now fully restored and boasts several unique features, including exquisite carvings on the church and the famous “Rose Window,” considered to be one of the finest pieces of Spanish Colonial ornamentation in the country.
Japanese Sunken Gardens — This beautiful and unique old stone quarry features winding pebble walkways, stone bridges, a waterfall and tranquil pools among lush gardens. Also enjoy a drive through beautiful Brackenridge Park and by the world-renowned San Antonio Zoo.
Mission Concepcion — Visit Mission Concepcion and be transported back in time to the era of Spanish conquest, and experience the strength of the Friars who Christianized the Native Americans. Learn how the Spanish developed the mission system within the San Antonio area and Texas and how they and Native Americans lived and worked in the mission era. View the original frescoes still visible within the rooms of the mission. Mission Concepcion is the oldest unrestored stone church in America today, and it is still an active parish, as are all of the missions, except the Alamo.
