They are historical landmarks. Structures from way back early 1700s . The settlers founded the land and made homes, colonies for their people , sacred land
Mission Concepcion and Mission San Jose (in my opinion) are the 2 best missions within the San Antonio area. The Alamo is a tourist attraction; however, it was never finished into a working mission.
The mission were Spanish catholic religious compounds, to settle the land and convert the native people. Usually a church compound,5 living quarters for the monks and for the community, that worked the land.
At first it was meant to settle the land and get converts by the Franciscans of the natives.
What do you mean????
