Mission San José – Virtual Tour

Mission San José is a historic Catholic mission founded in 1720 because Mission San Antonio de Valero, today called The Alamo, had become overcrowded.

Permission was granted to build a new mission 5 miles (8 km) south of San Antonio de Valero to serve the Coahuiltecan Indians.

The outset buildings, fabricated of castor, harbinger, and mud, were rapidly replaced by large stone structures, including guest rooms, offices, a dining room, and a pantry.

A heavy outer wall was built around the mission, and rooms for 350 Indians were congenital into the walls. A new church, which is still continuing, was constructed in 1768 from local limestone.

The mission lands were given to its Indians in 1794, and mission activities officially concluded in 1824. The mission's buildings then became home to soldiers, the homeless, and bandits.

In 1933 restoration of the grounds of the mission began and the mission walls and Indian quarters were re-congenital, and the granary was restored.
