What makes this area special? our storey telling style brings to life the five colonial missions. It’s the layers of stories—indigenous roots, Spanish colonisation, Tejano identity, and centuries of cultural resilience—that make San Antonio truly unique. We include the new World Heritage Centre that was built not just to inform—but to inspire. It connects past to present using immersive, interactive displays. Inside, you’ll get a sense of who built the missions, why they mattered, and how this community fought to preserve them for the world.”
