San Antonio grew from Spanish mission settlements and trade routes; the Alamo’s 1836 battle and 18th-century mission-building left visible marks on downtown streets and masonry.
Conservation
Downtown sites are preserved through local historic commissions and river maintenance programs; visitors are asked to stay on paths and avoid touching fragile stonework to limit wear.
