*** About San Antonio Missions National Historical Park: Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this historic park preserves four of the five Spanish frontier missions in San Antonio, Texas. These missions were part of a colonization system that stretched across the Spanish Southwest in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Serving more than just a religious purpose, they were vital communities that helped shape the culture of the region. The most famous of these, the Alamo, together with the other missions, offers a glimpse into Texas' early colonization and the interactions between Spanish settlers and native peoples.
