Spanish Govenor's Palace

As part of our research for our page we visited the Spanish Governor's Palace in San Antonio, Texas. This structure was completed in 1749 and was the "Commandancia", or home of the Governor of the Presidio de San Antonio de Bexar also known today as San Antonio. This ten room, adobe walled home with carved doors and low beamed ceilings shows the typical architecture of the Colonial Spanish period in San Antonio. Below is a picture gallery.
