Spanish Governor's Palace

The building was constructed in the early 18th century, planned as early as 1722 and completed in 1749. The building later became the capitol building of the Texas region of Spanish Texas in 1772. The Spanish built the Presidio San Antonio de Béxar to protect the area's missions, including the San Antonio de Valero Mission (The Alamo) and the missions in the present day San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, as well as the growing Spanish colony. == Description and location ==
