San Antonio is the kind of city where every street tells a story. Founded in 1718 under Spanish rule, it began with missions, presidios, and caminos winding along rivers. From the iconic Alamo to the five Spanish frontier missions that comprise the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), its roots are boldly visible.
