Mission San Jose y San Miguel de Aguayo, one of four Spanish missions in San Antonio, Texas

Title, date, and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.

Known as the "Queen of the Missions", this is the largest of the missions and was almost fully restored to its original design in the 1930s by the WPA (Works Projects Administration). Spanish missions were not churches, but communities, with the church the focus.
