We made a day of visiting all of the missions and learned a great deal throughout the day, but a volunteer at Mission San Juan made this our favorite mission. Manuel's grandparents were indians who lived and died in this mission. He has a great deal of Genealogical research which he is more than willing to share which brought the... More

It was okay. I went here for a photo shoot. It's free which is always good & it is very interesting. Don't go in the summertime, it's sweltering. More

It looks like it is in a time capsule. And they still have Mass there after nearly 300 years. More

Was great before the National Parks took over, better now. Don't miss the Rose Window on the side of the chapel. A love story of its own. More

If you are into early American history, all the missions are a must vist. A good family event that shouldn't bore the young ones. Many displays and folks on hand to tell what was happening back in the days. Go! More

May 2010. One of the smaller and less vistited of the San Antonio Missions. Not impressive by itself but when visited as part of a collective of all of the missions, worth the visit. More
