San Antonio Missions National Historical Park

San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is a park located in San Antonio, Texas, that preserves four of the five Spanish frontier missions in the city. The missions were established by Catholic friars in the 18th century and were instrumental in the Spanish colonization of the region. The park features beautifully restored mission buildings, including churches, living quarters, and workshops, which offer visitors a glimpse into the daily life of the missions' inhabitants. The park also includes a museum and cultural center, as well as miles of hiking and biking trails that wind through the surrounding wilderness.
