Facade of the mission church . . . but wait a minute! Isn't this really . . . ?
Yes, it is better known as The Alamo. The mission of San Antonio de Valero stopped being a mission, and the site was taken over as a fort by cavalry from the Presidio del Alamo -- apparently the troopers brought their name with them. ;-)
The rest is history. Sorry no photos are permitted inside the church building, but I got some good ones of the grounds where a nasty battle raged in 1836. In fact, the preceding (now following) images of the courtyard were at the heart of the battle.
(PapaGuru: interesting question. At one time that cannon probably was being prepared for real.)
Enjoy, and thanks for viewing.

It surely is historical, it has a veru ancient feeling... And the stones look as they could tell a story...
Looks like if they stopped beautifying the front, to much an effort....! Looks much older than it is!
