San Fernando Cathedral - San Antonio Texas
San Fernando Cathedral was founded in 1731 by a group of 15 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. On a rainy San Antonio day, we found it very warm and inviting. Pope John Paul II visited the cathedral in 1987. The remains of Davy Crockett, William B. Travis, Jim Bowie, and many other defenders of the Alamo.
