“San Fernando Cathedral was founded on March 9, 1731 by a group of 16 families who came from the Canary Islands at the invitation of King Phillip V of Spain and is the oldest, continuously functioning religious community in the State of Texas.” https://sfcathedral.org/our-history
A good night’s sleep and Marie and I were ready to explore a bit of downtown. The cathedral was less than two blocks from our hotel.
“The Bexar County Courthouse is the largest and oldest continuously operated historic courthouse in Texas1. It was designed by James Riely Gordon in the Romanesque Revival style1. Construction began in 1891 and was fully completed in 18962. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 19772. The Courthouse currently functions as the county seat of Bexar County“
A perfect San Antonio ending. Dinner on the Riverwalk. There’s Marie, studying the menu.
