*** About the San Antonio Missions: The San Antonio Missions are a group of five frontier mission complexes situated along a stretch of the San Antonio River basin in southern Texas. These historic landmarks were part of a colonization system that stretched across the Spanish Southwest in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, aiming to convert the local Native Americans and secure the territory for Spain. Each mission complex includes a church and buildings where friars and locals lived and worked. Today, they are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, recognized for their cultural importance and preserved as a testimony to the Texas's multi-layered history.
