Description
San Antonio Missions National Historic Park - Mission Espada Exterior and Three Bell Steeple- San Antonio, Texas, USA. More Missions photos can be found in my San Antonio, Texas gallery.
Founded in 1690 as San Francisco de los Tejas near present-day Weches, Texas, this was the first mission in Texas. In 1731, the mission transferred to the San Antonio River area and renamed Mission San Francisco de la Espada. A friary was built in 1745, and the church was completed in 1756.
