A Franciscan Mission seen along the Mission Trail.
Reviewed By 954gagec - Houston, United States
This mission is the farthest from downtown, but it is still only a 15-20 minute drive so worth seeing for anyone hitting up the Missions. It's relative isolation gives it a quiet charm, doubly so since it has fewer visitors than its cousins Concepción and San Jose. The church is pretty and open, although part of the mission is closed to the public because the church is still used by the Catholic church itself. The clergy have a garden of flowers to sweeten the view. All four missions should be seen, and while it can't compare to its bigger cousins it's still worth seeing for anyone interested in the history of the city.

Franciscan Mission established in 1731 and an historical attraction along the Mission Trail in San Antonio.

Our second mission on the Mission Trail, working our way from the south end. Lovely, peaceful setting. Informative, well organized visitor center. The mission church is open occasionally. Hours were not posted. Very interesting and well worth a visit!
4. Mission San Jose

Founded in 1720, this Spanish frontier mission, the largest of the five San Antonio missions, is best known for its rose window. On Sundays, this Texas and U.S. National historic site offers a mariachi mass.

Of all the Missions in San Antonio, this is the largest, most detailed, and most intact grounds. This mission yard allows you to see what a fully developed mission looked like to provide a community, safety and place to congregate for worship. Here the entire courtyard is in tact and you can see how people lived in the mission walls. You also see a beautiful and large church that has a rose window and incredible carves and details around its entrance. It does of the ruins of the Indian quarters attached to the church and only one bell tower. However, aside from these small imperfections, San Jose is an incredible Mission and now sits in the center of residential neighborhood. Still the site is well preserved and has the protection from the National Parks system. For me the Missions are the number one attraction in San Antonio and San Jose is the best, number one, Queen of the Missions.

This 200-year-old Franciscan mission at the very heart of the Mission Trail was originally built against claims of French colonization.
Reviewed By travelerfromsj - San Jose, United States
Mission Concepcion is in amazingly good shape for being the oldest unrestored stone church in the US. The inside of the church is beautiful, and you can see original fresco work in some of the rooms. The quarry used to build the missions is also here, next to the parking lot. Definitely worth a stop.
