San Fernando Cathedral - San Antonio, TX

Located at the historic center of the city, San Fernando Cathedral and its surrounding plazas served as the center of daily life in San Antonio throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. The church building as it exists today is part Spanish Colonial that dates from 1739 together with a larger, French Gothic-style nave which was added about 1874. This church is the oldest operating cathedral in the United States.

While its current structure has been greatly expanded and renovated over the years, the walls of the original church form the sanctuary of the cathedral today. Built with austere white stone and twin steeples, the San Fernando De Bexar Cathedral has a commanding presence at first glance. In traditional French Gothic form, the interior of the San Fernando Cathedral is a feast for the eyes. Admire the statues, intricate detail found in the stained glass windows and dramatic columns and archways. The history of the cathedral is collectively told through icons and objects throughout.

The Cathedral of San Fernando isn't just a historical landmark and a sanctuary that provides a place for worship, but has become the ecumenical, cultural, civic and service center of San Antonio, TX.

Mission San Jose - San Antonio, TX

San Antonio Missions National Historical Park in Texas plays a key role in telling the story of Spanish colonialists and Native Americans of the Southwest.

The park preserves the largest intact concentration of Spanish Colonial buildings in the United States today, including exquisite mission churches with their Romanesque, Moorish, and Spanish baroque designs, dating as far back as 1720. More than 1.2 million people visit San Antonio Missions National Historical Park each year.

All four mission churches - San Jose, Concepcion, San Juan, and Espada - are still active Catholic parishes and churches. They represent an unbroken connection from present day hustle and bustle of the seventh largest city in the country, to the time when San Antonio was part of the sparsely populated northern frontier of New Spain.
