Explore the other San Antonio Missions The San Antonio Missions UNESCO Site constitutes 5 different historic Spanish frontier missions. They are together preserved as the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park. The five San Antonio, TX Missions are Mission Concepción, Mission San Jose, Mission San Juan, Mission Espada, and the Alamo. These were the outposts built by the Spanish empire to spread Christianity and for defense purposes. The mission grounds included farmlands, church, residential areas, and granaries. While Alamo is the most famous and frequently visited of the San Antonio Missions, the rest are equally beautiful to explore. They are one of the most important historical sites in America. They can be easily accessed by walking or biking along the 10 miles of the Mission trail. The Alamo is now a museum but the other four missions continue to operate as active parishes of the Catholic church and are open to the public. Each of the Missions is beautiful and unique. The missions are built in a beautiful Spanish colonial style of architecture and very well-preserved. Mission San Jose is decorated with beautiful examples of Spanish colonial embellishments. In Mission Concepcion, you will get to see original frescos in some of the church rooms. Mission San Juan Capistrano is famous for its Romanesque entrance archway. In Mission Espada, part of the original irrigation system is still in operation. Entrance to San Antonio Missions is free of cost and we definitely recommend seeing them if you are a history buff.

A National Historical Park and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site preserving four of the five Spanish frontier missions in San Antonio. In geographic order from north (upstream of the San Antonio River) to south (downstream) the missions are Mission Concepción, Mission San Jose, Mission San Juan, and Mission Espada. The Espada Aqueduct, also part of the Park, is due east of Mission San Juan, across the river. The fifth (and best known) mission in San Antonio, the Alamo, is not part of the Park.

In 2015, the San Antonio Missions were named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the first such designation in the state of Texas. The five missions, including the famous Alamo (Mission Valero) were built in the early 1700s, established by the Franciscan Order in an effort by Spain to colonize and evangelize the region.
