Not to be missed!
My daughter and son in-law picked this as a morning tour for us. It was really amazing. First started in 1720, and stone work starting in mid 1700s, the buildings are really interesting. The church is VERY beautiful and sitting inside looking around in silence, quite relaxing. A great place to pray and meditate. Our 5 year old grand daughter was quite taken with the beauty and after 5 minutes being inside, asked if she could stay a little longer. Nice national park representation and clean facilities. Worth the trip!

UNESCO Historical Site
It’s been over 20 plus years since I last visited the San Antonio missions. The National Park Service in collaboration with the Catholic Church have done a very good job maintaining the churches but also creating visitor centers to provide more information on their history. Definitely so much nicer and better maintained now than my first visit. The San Jose Mission was the largest in size and breadth including many of the supporting structures. Inside each were more details about life in the mission as well as the efforts during its renovation. Rangers also roamed throughout and gave talks. It was a little walk from the visitor center to the back where the church was located. Path was mostly gravel.
