Mission San Jose was the other mission that we paid a touristy visit to in the lovely city of San Antonio, Texas. Known as the “Queen of the Missions”, this is the largest of the missions and was almost fully restored to its original design in the 1930s by the WPA (Works Projects Administration). Spanish missions were not churches, but communities, with the church the focus. Mission San José shows the visitor how all the missions might have looked over 250 years ago. Some pictures taken from our time there are captured in the slideshow below:
I like the factual information in the write-up and the occasional humans in the pictures! They give the pictures a more realistic feel.
