San Fernando de Béxar (now San Antonio) was founded in 1731 between the San Antonio River and San Pedro Creek, to the east of the presidio established at the same location in 1718.
Constructed in 1738, San Fernando de Béxar Cathedral in San Antonio is the oldest continuously working church in the State of Texas. The Cathedral building is Texas' oldest standing church building and served as the church for both the Spanish and Mexican governments prior to Texas' gaining independence. It has always been at the center of San Antonio. Some of the Heroes of the Alamo have been entombed in one of the chapels.
From its founding, this church retains the love of the San Antonians. Recently renovated, the stations of the Cross and the Altar, along with much of the art work, are extraordinary.
