San Antonio Missions National Historical Park

San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is a National Historical Park preserving four out of five Spanish frontier missions in San Antonio, Texas along the San Antonio River. The fifth mission is well known as the Alamo, but is not part of the park as it was operated by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas until July 2015, when management was turned over to the Texas General Land Office. All five locations are designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

These outposts were established as early as 1690 by Spanish missionaries of various Catholic orders. They were used to spread Christianity among local natives and formed a key network for Spanish colonization of the area. The missions from north to south are Mission Concepcion, Mission San Jose, Mission San Juan, and Mission Espada. The Espada Aqueduct is also part of the park.
