San Antonio Attractions
San Antonio was colonized in the early part of the eighteenth century and
thereafter Native Americans and Old Mexico have integrated which has made
it a very varied,interesting and enjoyable city to visit.
No visit to San Antonio would be complete without a visit to the Alamo and
this should be right at the top of your list. The Alamo was originally built
as a mission in the eighteenth century and was just one of five missions built
at that time. It became well known later having become a fort, as the place where
Mexico tried to unnsuccessfully retake the alamo in 1836, after having lost the
battle to stop Texas becoming independent 1835.
A further attraction which should not be missed is La Villita which was
built by Spanish soldiers who were stationed at the Alamo. It is situated
in the center of downtown San Antonio, where today you will also find Artists,
Craftsmen as well as shops and restaurants
