Texas Mission Trail

The Texas Mission Trail is a historic route connecting five Spanish missions in San Antonio, Texas, established in the 18th century. These missions—Concepción, San José, San Juan, Espada, and the Alamo—were built to convert and educate local Native Americans, while also serving as centers for religious, cultural, and military purposes. Today, the trail offers visitors a chance to explore these well-preserved sites that showcase Texas's early history, Spanish influence, and colonial effort to settle and defend the region. It’s a significant pathway highlighting the cultural and historical roots of Texas.
