Is this apart of the alamo? Or is the Alamo and the Alamo infermatory completely separate from the cathedrals ?

allie huerta | Oct 24, 2018
Jay Tavor | Oct 24, 2018

Yes and no. There are about 4-5 missions in South Texas. The Alamo is the most famous one. They all were at one time one whole system. Today they work independently. If you go to the 'Alamo' tour in downtown 'in' the Alamo. They can better explain why the Alamo mission was the last stand. (If they still have the tours inside. Back in my day when i wanted to learn more about my town they did.) Hope this helps. Ok, good luck 😀👍

What are the missions in the park?

wiltedrose_i | Oct 24, 2019
Louise Archambeau | Oct 24, 2019

Yes, the Alamo is downtown so there are lots of places to eat. The other Missions do have parks close or on premises where you can picknic. Do remember that they are precious historical places that you need to show respect for even if they are not religion. Show respect for the people who died defending them. We want to perserve them for our children and grandchildren to learn what it took to build this great nation.
