South Alamo Street

The Alamo Mission was founded in the 18th century by the Catholic missionaries of Rome and has gone on to be a historic monument because of its gigantic edifice and rich history. The complex has also been able to accommodate over four million visitors yearly.

It has also contributed to San Antonio’s religious background and liberty for over a century. It has served as not only San Antonio’s first hospital complex but also as a military camp during the battle of the Alamo and a chapel dome as well.
