Arcade at the Mission Espada, or Mission San Francisco de la Espada, a Spanish catholic colonial mission and church originally established in 1691 and moved here in 1731, to spread Christianity among Native Americans, 1 of 4 missions in the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, in San Antonio, Texas, USA. The mission originally included a church, priest's house, blacksmiths, kiln and workrooms, but a fire in 1826 destroyed most of the buildings, leaving only the chapel, granary and 2 compound walls. Still in use is a well preserved section of the acequia or irrigation system, used to bring water to the fields. The mission is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and forms part of the San Antonio Missions UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
