*** About San Antonio Missions: The San Antonio Missions are a group of five frontier mission complexes situated along a stretch of the San Antonio River valley in southern Texas. These sites were established by Catholic religious orders to spread Christianity among the local natives and are an example of the interweaving of Spanish and Coahuiltecan cultures. Most famous among them is the Alamo, the site of the famous 1836 battle. Today, these missions are celebrated both for their historical significance and their resilience, encapsulated in stunning architecture that has withstood the test of time. They have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognizing their importance in understanding the history not only of Texas but of the United States as a whole.
