History
San Antonio grew from Spanish colonial missions and a 1718 presidio; the 1836 Battle of the Alamo and the mission complex shaped its identity and architecture.
Conservation
Electric micro-shuttles reduce downtown emissions compared with larger buses; when visiting missions and historic sites, stay on designated paths and do not remove artifacts to protect fragile stonework and archaeological resources.
