With only minimal restoration, this mission church provides an inspirational view of the time when the Franciscan missionaries came to this area 300 years ago. Don't miss. Plenty of parking. Excellent guides, and everything is free.

Two hundred fifty years of history. The chapel was beautiful and the exterior amazingly well preserved after so long. The building is beautiful but just imagine how it must have looked when the stucco was still intact. The Spanish missionaries were skilled builders and artists. Some parts of the frescoes still exist and reveal how beautiful they must have been when constructed. While San Antonio has many attractions the Mission Trail should not be missed.

OK. I have been to SA a few times and have never made the time to tour this mission. What a mistake. It is beautiful. The architecture and art is lovely and the grounds are picnic-perfect. If you have not put this on your list yet, please do. You will not regret it and it is a perfect 30 minute stop!

Another beautiful mission. Wonderful frescos to look at. A peaceful prayer garden outside. If you visit one mission make sure you visit them all, it can be done in a half a day by car.

Mission Concepcion is a fun Mission full of things to do and learn. You do some walk but not a lot. The history behind the Mission is fascinating.

We viewed five missions and this one was the best looking one. The architecture caught our eye. It was a clean and pretty building.

An interesting mission in San Antonio. What makes this one unique is that there are numerous frescos within the church. Yoiu need to make sure you explore the entire interior to make sure you see them all.

This handsome stone church took about 20 years to build, and was dedicated in 1755. It appears very much as it did over two centuries ago. Due to the fact that it was built directly on bedrock, it never lost its roof, or its integrity. It remains the least restored of the colonial structures within the Park.

This Spanish Mission is one of several on the Mission Trail and just a short drive from the center of San Antonio. It is worth the trip just to admire the church and the remains of the original art work that once decorated the walls and ceilings. Be sure to stop first in the small visitor center for an orientation and to learn about the art work and how to find it. Pay particular attention to the depiction of God painted on one ceiling by the Native Americans. Who knew that God had a moustache?

Stop here on your way to Mission San Jose. You will be able to compare them and see the uniqueness of each Mission.

The Alamo may bet all the limelight, but there are plenty of good historical missions to check out. And this may be the best. You won't get the long lines of the Alamo or all tourists.

The Missions in San Antonio preserve important history.We have visited all the missions along the river in San Antonio.Concepcion is one of them.It has been a big experience.

If you like cathedrals, churches and mission buildings, you won't be disappointed. This is the oldest STONE non-rebuilt church in the U.S. There is no museum here, only a small building with some pictures and a ranger. The rangers were very helpful and informative. I was barely able to see the inside of the church as there was a wedding scheduled there. The building is very Moorish appearing. Beautiful!

We had visited the Alamo the day before and knew about the other 4 missions and stopped here to do some geocaching. We bumped into George the brochure guy and we were so glad we did.He gave us one of the best, most informative and enjoyable tours we have ever been on. The suggestion he had for my wife to sing in the chapel is a memory she will never forget. It was breathtaking to listen to and gave her a great thrill. The site is so well preserved and lovingly cared for. Well worth the visit and it is FREE.
