Visit a historically unique location that is known as one of the most beautiful buildings in San Antonio, the Spanish Governor's Palace. This National Historic Landmark represents the last visual remnants of the Presidio San Antonio de Béjar. It was the original residence and working office for the captains of the military garrison from 1722 until the early 1800s. Learn about Texas's earliest history under Spanish rule. Tour the rooms furnished with Spanish Colonial period pieces and be delighted with the beautifully landscaped gardens in the courtyard.
For experienced and novice photographers alike, FOTOSEPTIEMBRE celebrates photography and photographic art every September. Started in San Antonio, FOTOSEPTIEMBRE showcases photography and photographic artwork from around the world. Exhibits are located not only in San Antonio but in cities around the country.
The best way to enjoy your day is at the San Antonio Zoo, where they bring exotic wildlife from all around the world directly to you. Make your zoo visit an adventure as you get the chance to watch the elephants play, listen to the hyenas laugh, and take in the sights of the lions, tigers, bears, kangaroos, hippos, and flamingos, to name a few. Make sure you stop by the giraffe enclosures and reach up to feed them right out of your hands.
