    ✝️ Beautiful Historic & Religious Site - a Photographer’s Palace ✝️

    I visited all four missions, but this one was one of my favorites. It’s not too small, not too big, very peaceful, and a marvel to behold. The sanctuary provides a lovely array of architecture and religious artifacts. I’ve done my best to do them justice with my camera, but as with all beautiful things, seeing in person is a must.

    There are bathrooms on-site, and because of the size of this mission, it’s easier to walk.

    I love hearing the sparrows flutter about the towers and nest in the crevices. It lends a true tranquility to this mission. I could happily sit here for hours just enjoying the nature sounds away from civilization (and thanks to numerous benches onsite, you’re able to do exactly that!). I visited close to Christmas, and enjoyed the Advent-themed decorum inside the sanctuary otherwise not present (see pics).

    If you can only visit a couple of the missions, this is one of two I’d most highly recommend.

    Highly Recommend! Always visit San Antonio but this time focused on learning more about the Missions. A little bit of a drive just outside of downtown you'll find Mission Concepción, a must visit. Although its is aging and crumbling it is still well preserved with a lot of detail and beauty just as it was build years ago. Plenty of parking available on site with sitting areas, restrooms and information stand. Trail leading off Mission provides for a nice stroll through some historical sites.

    It is a quiet and contemplative historical site. Brings your thoughts back to the settlers of years past. The physical, and mental toughness they possessed are mind boggling. The tours of the 5 missions is a must. Reflections into the past is both humbling, and sobering. A very positive day.

    Lots of amazing history and very interesting facts about architecture and peoples. I would 10/10 recommend talking with the volunteers and tour guides while you visit. They have a lot of knowledge about the history that you will not read on the signs while walking around the grounds. After spending some time here your mind will begin to think and wander about life in the past and it is a very cool experience.

    For history & architecture fans this is a great venue to add to your travel plans while in San Antonio. This Mission is one of four that are managed and secured by the National Park Service. Since we toured on a Sunday morning — we were able to walk inside the sanctuary after morning mass. Great photo ops for period photographers. Parking can be limited during prime times. National Park Service brochures are available that describe the various Missions and their history. If we come back I would love to visit all the local Missions.
