There is something so beautiful about the antiquity of this church. It is amazing to see that the structure is still standing even after its completion in 1731. It now belongs to the San Antonio Missions National Park. What is even more remarkable is that Sunday service is still held here! This is really a treat for any tourist and the best part, it is all free. You should definitely come by and visit all the missions!

Goodness. My family, and I loved it. The inside of the mission has day time hour’s. But, you should know. The outside structure can be viewed, before, or after hour’s. This is a must see.

Easy to find. Free parking lot.
I had to see at least 1 of the 4 missions in San Antonio.
Very similar to the ones we have in San Gabriel.
Great site to see.

A quietly unsung gem a few miles south of downtown. The parking is easy and safe. The National Park Service does a great job with the ambiance.

Pretty, historic church just south of downtown San Antonio. The interior has been restored, but is a little too modern. They still host masses there, so it is a nice spot for those Catholics visiting the city.

Very cool mission, best intact mission in the area. It’s small but it was very cool and something to check out if you’re in the area.
We walked from downtown, round trip, I wouldn’t recommend it. Take a cab better yet Über

Very enjoyable to stroll around this smaller mission in San Antonio. This mission has original bell towers, Mission San Jose’s had collapsed and was restored. So you get to see original construction. They are also restoring some of the original frescos. Bring your camera.

While making our tour of the missions in the area we made our first stop at Mission Concepción. This mission is fairly small, but the building is beautiful and well restored.
We enjoyed walking through the grounds as well as sitting in the chapel. We also really loved looking at the parts of the walls where they left the original paint. They also had a lot of information on the history of the mission which was a blast to read.
In the end, this was one of our favorite missions that we traveled to. We would recommend this particular mission over some of the others if you are not able to make them all.

The Mission Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción is the smallest of the San Antonio missions but for me, it provided the biggest impact — spiritually. Everywhere you look is inspiring; just stare at any well wall and you will be moved emotionally.
I want to stay.

Some of the rooms still have some of the original paintings on the walls and they are working to restore the ones that have been lost with time.

My second stop on the Missions Trail and this mission is probably my favorite!
The mission and grounds are just gorgeous and worth taking the time to explore as, like the others, it has been so nicely preserved.
It is also a photogenic mission with lots of great shots in and around the mission itself and throughout the grounds!
I missed the tour when I got here, but kind of wandered around on my own reading the informational pamphlet from the Visitor’s Center.
The interior of the church was closed when I arrived so I will have to return to check it out and report back.

Gorgeous historical landmark! I would give it 5 stars if we were able to go inside. The hours weren’t posted either.

One of the 4 missions located in the San Antonio Mission NHP. You would think you would get tired by the 2^nd or third mission, but each one is so unique and different, that they each one is a must see. Each one has something different for you to encounter and explore. This mission was dedicated in 1755 and not much has changed since then. It is the oldest unrestored stone church in America. It used to have beautiful colorful designs on the outside which have long disappeared. But you can still see some of this beautiful color remaining on the inside frescoes still visible in some of the rooms. There is also a nice shaded cactus garden on the far side of the mission which is serene and quiet to explore.

So it kind of confused me but this is actually «Mission Conception». It’s one of the smaller missions along Mission Rd, but it’s very beautiful. It isn’t as crowded as some of the others so if you just want to see one than stop on by! They still hold masses in the church side so be respectful.

I like to think I have Unilocal minions. «Yinions» a la Despicable Me style because I’m narcissistic. Never mind that you’re stingy with the UFCs, it’s all in my mind. But real talk, I do search the world for beauty in architecture.
This is the Missions Trails most well kept mission. It is stunning in person. Built by the Franciscan friars as a community and not just a church, Mission Concepcion is now just a part of Southtown.
If you like, you can attend a bilingual mass on Sundays at 10. Personally, I’d steer clear of the mariachi mass at noon but maybe you’re into that.
Whatever your religious beliefs are, come by and admire this piece of history. There’s a bike rental stand next to it, parking, the trail, and ample of ways for you to Instagram to your heart’s content!

What an amazing place. It is wonderful to see all the girls in the quinceanera dresses come out for pictures. Plus they still have church services here.

Wait, I never wrote a review for Mission Conception? Holy Molly! Wow, this is my favorite Mission out of the 4, I think it is because it reminded me my College, I went to a Catholic College.
Anyways, if you can make to all four Missions, please do. If you can only make to two, Mission San Jose and Mission Conception are my two top choices. It is just beautiful.

More commonly known as simply «Mission Concepcion,» this quaint historical site is anchored by the picturesque (and still-in-use) chapel building. As of December 2012 the site was undergoing some construction renovations, but the chapel building was unobstructed. Great architecture for photographing, but also very interesting history about Our Lady. Visit during early-mid December and learn about Las Posadas to further enhance the reverent experience. We will be coming back every year.
