"Mission Nuestra Señora de la Purisima Concepción" Top 5 Page for this destination San Antonio Things to Do Tip by ATXtraveler

Mission Nuestra Señora de la Purisima Concepción de Acuña is the name of one of the smaller San Antonio Missions. Shortened to Mission Concepción for the purposes of signs and print ads, this mission is grouped into the National Park System, was dedicated in 1755, and is famous for being the oldest non-restored stone church in America. Originally, the outside of this church was painted with colorful geometric designs, however those have long since faded away. Inside the church, you will still be able to see frescos, or paintings on the walls of a building throughout.

This mission is out in the middle of San Antonio, without a lot of other attractions around it, so it is best if you choose to drive to this mission. The other missions are technically within walking distance, but I would choose to either drive, or at a minimum bicycle between these.
