Description
Image is an angel face sculpture that adorns the top of a column on the front of the church at San Jose Mission in San Antonio, Texas. Built in 1720, it is the largest and best known of the Texas missions. The size of the mission complex earned it the title "Queen of the Missions." The beautiful church building is known for its unique architecture. The mission residents learned to use firearms to fend off Comanche and Apache raids. Their skill, plus massive stone walls, discouraged enemy attacks. The Mission is part of the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.
