Mission Concepcion

Mission Concepción, established in 1711 by Franciscan Friars, is a historic site located in San Antonio, Texas. Originally founded to convert the Hasinai people to Catholicism, it later became home to the Pajalats. The mission is notable for being the oldest unrestored stone church in America and is part of the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015. Visitors can explore its sanctuary, nave, convento, and granary, and witness remnants of vibrant frescoes that once adorned its walls. The site is also historically significant as the location of the Battle of Concepción during the Texas Revolution. Catholic Mass is still celebrated here every Sunday, making it a living piece of history.
