Misja San José

„Królowa Misji” to największa i najbardziej odnowiona misja w San Antonio. Ta ogromna misja jest prawdopodobnie najważniejsza ze względu na ogromne ilości żywności, która była uprawiana i dzielona z mniejszymi misjami. Tutaj wejdziesz do jednego z mieszkań mieszkańców, poznasz Convento, w którym spali Bracia i żołnierze, przejdziesz przez piękny kościół z kopułą i zobaczysz wspaniałą fasadę kościoła, słuchając opowieści o jego powstaniu i renowacji.

Zobaczysz 250-letni fresk, fascynującą wystawę oczną i wnętrze kościoła, w którym będziesz upokorzony jego pięknem.
