 Mission Concepciσn
807 Mission Rd. at Felisa St. San Antonio TX 78210
Phone: (210) 534-1540
This handsome church looks essentially as it did 200 years ago. From 1731,
religious festivals were held as friars strove to replace traditional Native American ritual by the demonstration of Christian ideals. Remnants of wall
and ceiling paintings in the surviving rooms of the mission’s convento have been conserved.
Wayside exhibits lead visitors around the grounds and through the various rooms. The site also features a visitor contact station and a sales area.
Mission San Francisco de la Espada
10040 Espada Rd. San Antonio TX 78214
Phone: (210) 627-2021
In 1731, after their retreat from East Texas, the founders of San Francisco de los Tejas moved the
mission to the San Antonio River and renamed it San Francisco de la Espada. Espada appears as
remote today as it did in the mid 1700s. It boasts the best preserved segments of the historic
acequias (the irrigation system designed to provide water for crops) part of which includes the still
working Espada dam and aqueduct. The Espada Aqueduct, which carries water from the San
Antonio River across Piedras Creek, continues to feed the original mission irrigation system.
Espada Dam, built between 1731 and 1740, is the best existing example of the four Franciscan
-designed dams placed on the San Antonio River. The dam is still in use today. Combined, these
structures represent perhaps the best surviving physical assembly of an 18th century Spanish
irrigation network in the United States. In 1995, the ranch that once supported Mission Espada,
Rancho de las Cabras near Floresville, became part of the National Historical Park and is currently open on a limited basis.
 Mission San Josι
6701 San Jose Dr. San Antonio TX 78214
Phone: (210) 932-1001
Founded in 1720 by Fray Antonio Margil de Jesϊs, San Josι became the
largest and best known of the Texas Missions and was viewed as the model among Texas missions. After early setbacks, 300 inhabitants were sustained
by the vast fields and herds of livestock. A visitor in 1777 referred to the structure as the "Queen of
the Missions." The carvings on the church are notable features. The famous "Rose Window" is
considered one of the finest pieces of Spanish Colonial ornamentation in the country. Other features
are the convento area and the stairway to the belfry and choir loft - each of the 25 risers was hand
-hewn from a single live-oak log and constructed without nails or pegs. Also featured is a granary with flying buttresses, a gristmill, restored defensive walls, and quarters.
 Mission San Juan Capistrano
9101 Graf Rd. San Antonio TX 78214

The chain of missions established along the San Antonio River in the 18th century are reminders of
one of Spain’s most successful attempts to extend its New World dominion from Mexico.
Representing both church and state, these missions were charged with converting the local Native
Americans, collectively called Coahuiltecans, into devout Catholics and productive members of
Spanish society. More than just churches on the Spanish Colonial frontier, the missions also served
as vocational and educational centers, economic enterprises involved in agricultural and ranching
endeavors and regional trade. They were the greatest concentration of Catholic missions in North
America and formed the foundation for what is today the thriving city of San Antonio. The park
contains the historically and architecturally significant structures of missions Concepciσn, San Josι,
San Juan and Espada. Other important cultural resources included are the historic Espada Dam and
Aqueduct, acequia (irrigation) systems and the Rancho de las Cabras. Hours: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily.
