San Antonio Missions National Historical Park

South of the city centre, but still within the boundaries of San Antonio, are four other Spanish mission stations founded between 1718 and 1740. They now form part of the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park and can be visited by following the signposted Mission Trail. They are the Mission San Juan Capistrano (1731), the Mission San Concepción (1731-52), the best preserved Franciscan mission in Texas, the Mission San Francisco de la Espada (1731-40) and the "queen of missions", the Mission San Jose y San Miguel de Aguayo (1720-31), with a beautiful church doorway and carved sacristy window ("Rosa's Window"), Indian huts and corn stores.
