San Antonio Missions National Historical Park
The four southernmost Spanish colonial missions—Concepción, San José, San Juan and Espada —are included in the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, which officially opened in 1983. These four missions, along with the Alamo, have been named a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO). Land for the Historical Park was donated by the city, county, state, Catholic Church and San Antonio Conservation Society. The missions are walled compounds encompassing a church and buildings where the priests and local Native Americans lived and worked.(visitsanantonio.com)
HAUNTED Mission Concepcion in San Antonio Texas
There wasn't much we could explore cause we couldn't go inside, but there was a flashing light from the inside through one of the windows 3:26. My wife said she heard noises through a metal screen door that sounded like furniture being moved. My camera was out of focus a lot which they say indicates the presence of spirits.

La Espada Park
I was exploring some of the roads along the San Antonio River south going from mission to mission and came upon La Espada Park which I'd never visited before. It's a very beautiful place and teh city has done a nice job of creating a nice trail system which was being used by dozens and dozens of people including tons of families.
It was here that I discovered the original dam built by Native Americans and Spanish priests back in the early 1700's to send water into the irrigation system that watered their crops. Built sometime between 1731 and 1745, what's left of the dam is only a small portion, but it's still working well to hold back the channel.
It's pretty spot, especially as there was a good flow. I didn't intend to spend a lot of time there, but I spotted the two birds shown (not the white egret) who allowed me to get surprisingly close. I'm not sure what kinds of birds they are, but my first thought was that they were a blue heron and an anhinga. Not being a birder myself, I'd love for someone to identify them for me.

Mission Concepcion San Antonio, TX 2018
Franciscan friars established Mission Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción de Acuña (also Mission Concepcion) in 1716 as Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción de los Hainais in East Texas. The mission was originally meant to be a base for converting the Hasinai to Catholicism and teaching them what they needed to know to become Spanish citizens. The friars moved the mission in 1731 to San Antonio. After its relocation most of the people in the mission were Pajalats who spoke a Coahuiltecan language.[1] Catholic Mass is still held every Sunday.
On October 28, 1835, Mexican troops under Colonel Domingo Ugartechea and Texian insurgents led by James Bowie and James Fannin fought the Battle of Concepción here. Historian J.R. Edmondson describes the 30-minute engagement as the first major engagement of the Texas Revolution.[2]
Mission Concepcion consists of a sanctuary, nave, convento, and granary. When originally built, brightly painted frescos decorated both the exterior and interior of the building. Traces of the frescoes still exist on the weathered facade of the building. Experts restored some of the artwork on the interior ceilings and walls of the convento in 1988. The Archdiocese of San Antonio completed another restoration of the mission's interior in 2010 which exposed more frescoes in the sanctuary and nave.
Located at 807 Mission Road, Concepción is the best preserved of the Texas missions. It was designated a National Historic Landmark on April 15, 1970 and is part of San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.[3] In 2015, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization designated Concepción and four other San Antonio missions, including The Alamo, as a World Heritage Site, the first in Texas and one of twenty-three such establishments in the United States.[4]
