Mission San Jose,San Antonio

"The Queen of Missions" one of five missions established by Spanish missionaries in the early eighteenth century along the San Antonio river in what is now South Texas. Never completed and badly damaged by time and war, it has gone through several stages of reconstruction and restoration. Currently the intricate and beautiful carvings surrounding the entrance (not visible in this view) are being restored.
