Presidio San Antonio de Béxar was a Spanish fort built near the San Antonio River, located in what is now San Antonio, Texas, USA. It was designed for protection of the mission system and civil settlement in central Texas. It also served to secure Spain's claim to the region from French, English and American aggression. It was built by Franciscan priest Antonio de Olivares and the Payaya; and along with the Misión de San Antonio de Valero (the Alamo) and the Acequia Madre de Valero, is the origin of the present city of San Antonio, Texas.EstablishmentFrom the Convent of Querétaro, several expeditions were organized to the region of Texas, an area of great strategic importance to the Spanish crown. With that goal in 1675, an expedition formed by Fray Antonio de Olivares, Fray Francisco Hidalgo, Fray Juan Larios, and Fernando del Bosque was sent to explore and describe the country beyond the borders of Rio Grande, to test the possibilities of new settlements in the area.

As a luxury apartment community for the last eight years, Saint Benedict’s has been enthusiastically embraced by native San Antonians & transplants alike. The rich history of this property dates back to the turn of the twentieth century. In the 1950’s the St. Benedictine sisters established a nursing home and hospital on the property, which was in operation in one form or another until the mid-1980’s. From the early 1990’s to 2004, the property sat vacant and in disrepair until it was purchased by an investment group that included the present owners. Notable architect Davis Sprinkle began transformation of the property’s mid-century structures into 66 high-end, design-minded living spaces in 2006. No detail was spared during the design & planning process. According to Sprinkle, “The goal was to create a modern oasis in the heart of the historic King William neighborhood. The minimalist design aesthetic is expressed in the layout of the residential units with their large picture windows, open floor plans, and crisp white interiors. The variety of communal courtyard spaces lends a contemplative vibe by offering gathering areas that afford privacy while still connecting back to the neighborhood.”

Established in 1718 as Mission San Antonio de Valero, for over 300 years, the former mission now known as the Alamo has been a crossroads of history. Having existed under six flags of independent nations and served as a garrison for five different armies, the Alamo has a rich history and a heritage to inspire all Texans. Although the site is best known as the site of the 1836 Battle of the Alamo, all 300 years of Alamo history are vital to our story.

The Alamo Cenotaph, also known as the Spirit of Sacrifice, is a monument in San Antonio, Texas, United States, commemorating the Battle of the Alamo, which was fought at the adjacent Alamo Mission. The monument was erected in celebration of the centenary of the battle, and bears the names of those known to have fought there on the Texas side.HistoryAlthough there had been previous plans for Alamo monuments, starting in the late 1800s, the Alamo Cenotaph was the first such erected in San Antonio. (There had been one previous monument in Austin, but it was lost in a Capitol fire.) During the 1936 Texas Centennial celebration, the state of Texas provided $100,000 for the monument, commissioned from local sculptor Pompeo Coppini. San Antonio mayor Maury Maverick held a dedication ceremony on November 11, 1940.The shaft rises sixty feet from its base and is forty feet long and twelve feet wide. The monument was erected in grey Georgia marble and pink Texas granite. It was entitled The Spirit of Sacrifice and incorporates images of the Alamo garrison leaders and 187 names of known Alamo defenders, derived from the research of historian Amelia Williams. Later research has shown some listed on the cenotaph were not there, and the total of Alamo combatants has risen with newer research.InscriptionThe marker on the cenotaph reads:Erected in memory of the heroes who sacrificed their lives at the Alamo, March 6, 1836, in the defense of Texas. They chose never to surrender nor retreat; these brave hearts, with flag still proudly waving, perished in the flames of immortality that their high sacrifice might lead to the founding of this Texas.

El Cenotafio de El Álamo también conocido como el Espíritu de sacrificio, es un monumento en el distrito histórico de la Plaza del Álamo del centro de San Antonio, en el estado de Texas al sur de los Estados Unidos. El escultor principal fue el italiano Pompeo Luigi Coppini. Allí se conmemora la batalla de El Álamo, que se luchó en la adyacente Misión de El Álamo. El monumento fue erigido en conmemoración del centenario de la batalla, y lleva los nombres de los que se conocen para haber luchado allí por el lado de Texas. En el cenotafio se lee: Erigido en memoria de los héroes que sacrificaron sus vidas en el Álamo, el 6 de marzo de 1836 en la «defensa de Texas», "Eligieron nunca rendirse ni retroceder, estos valientes corazones con la bandera aún ondeando con orgullo perecieron en las llamas de la inmortalidad que con su gran sacrificio dieron lugar a la fundación de esta Texas".Véase también Cenotafio Monumento funerario Monumento conmemorativo

Travis Park is located in the Bexar County city of San Antonio in the U.S. state of Texas. The park was once part of the original Alamo Mission in San Antonio at its current location, and is situated across the street from the Saint Anthony Hotel. Francisco Garcia purchased the land in 1819. In 1851, the land was acquired by Samuel Augustus Maverick. Upon his deathin 1870, Maverick deeded the property to the city of San Antonio, which originally named it Travis Plaza, in honor of Alamo commandant William Barret Travis. In 1953, Maverick's granddaughter Rena Maverick Green spearheaded the San Antonio Conservation Society's successful campaign to save the facility from having an underground parking lot built beneath it. Many improvements have been made to the park over the years, through the generous donations of time and money from public entities and private individuals. The site currently hosts an annual outdoor jazz festival.

The Holiday Inn Express San Antonio N-Riverwalk Area is a hotel in downtown San Antonio, Texas, USA.Built in 1878, the five-story building is rich in history and served as the San Antonio Bexar County Jail until 1962. In recent years, before becoming a hotel, the building was a records depot for both the city and county and is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places.The five-story stone and brick structure was originally designed by prominent architect Alfred Giles as a two-story limestone facility containing twenty jail cells. Because of a rapid increase in the city's population, Henry T. Phelps designed a third-floor addition and remodeled the building in 1912, transforming it to the Mission Revival style.In 1926, a second expansion was designed by Atlee and Robert Ayres, a father-and-son team and leading architects of their time. The entire appearance of the building was changed, with the addition of two floors, a reconfiguration of window openings, and a projecting entry with an arched entrance porch. The present façade's appearance dates to that design, when the structure was faced in brick.

José Antonio Navarro was an influential political figure during the momentous 55 years (1810–1865) when Texas’ destiny was forged. Navarro served in Texas legislatures under Mexico, the Republic of Texas and the state of Texas. In addition, he served on the committees that wrote the first two Texas constitutions in 1836 and 1845. Although a prominent, influential leader, Navarro was not a professional politician. As a young man he learned the merchant trade, the occupation of his father. Factories from the United States and Europe sent ships loaded with merchandise to New Orleans, where Navarro arranged to import books, cloth, clothing, wine, sugar, rice and coffee. Navarro also earned a living through land investment. During the 1830s, he purchased more than 50,000 acres of ranch land at a price of pennies per acre. Because thousands of people were immigrating into Texas, the demand for land increased. Navarro sold portions of his land holdings for up to three dollars per acre. His San Antonio rental properties also produced income. His wife Margarita de la Garza was also a native of San Antonio. Between 1817 and 1837, she bore four sons and three daughters. Numerous descendants live in and around San Antonio, with many more scattered throughout the country. The mission of Casa Navarro is to preserve and maintain the historical integrity of the site’s buildings, while interpreting 19th-century Tejano culture through the life and times of José Antonio Navarro. Casa Navarro State Historic Site is a Texas Historical Commission (THC) property. The THC’s mission is to protect and preserve the state's historic and prehistoric resources for the use, enjoyment and economic benefit of present and future generations.
