San Antonio Missions National Historic Park: San Jose

Spanish Frontier Missions tell a story of a time long past, yet essential to the development of modern-day Texas. The San Jose unit of this national park is special because it is the largest and most ornate of the missions, and locals refer to it as the “Queen of the Missions.” When one looks closely, one can see Baroque influences in the structure and the facade, as well as in the carved saints' statues, all of which represent Spanish colonial ornamentation. Welcoming 1.3 million visitors annually, this park is a UNESCO World Heritage site protecting four Spanish frontier missions. Beginning in 1718, the missions became the center of a turning point where drought, European diseases, and colonization led Indigenous tribes to assimilate into Spanish culture, religion, diet, and economy. Available as a poster, framed print, notecard, postcard, metal sign, or canvas, this original national park art would look great on any wall.
