Built in 1782, Mission San José stands as the largest mission in San Antonio, often referred to as the ‘Queen of the Missions.’ Constructed from Texas limestone and stucco, the mission’s original design has been meticulously restored, though parts of the church, gristmill, and granary have collapsed over time. Visitors can explore the expansive grounds and admire the detailed architecture, gaining insight into the historical and cultural significance of this 18th-century site.
