San Jose mission in San Antonio, TX


There is so much history right in the middle of Texas.  This church is situated among the beautiful and scenic ruins of the San Jose y San Miguel de Aguayo mission in San Antonio.  There are many missions there, but if you only had time to visit one of them, this would be it.  The calm and peaceful grounds are surrounded by a wall and the whole place stretches out along San Antonio's mission trail. Also known as the Queen of missions, if you are in San Antonio and want to enjoy some of its history, don't miss this outstanding Spanish colonial mission.
