SAN JOSE SECOND MISSION, BUILT 1718
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS
This was the second of several Missions named
after St. Joseph, built in 1718 by the Franciscan
Monks, and was used in converting the Indians. It
was also used as a place of refuge from hostile
Indians. The hand carving on the facade of the
main entrance is conceded by Experts to be one of
the finest specimens of ancient carving extant.
