Beautiful building. Loved the history of San Antonio light/projection show they have at the front of the church. Highly recommend watching it.
We came for the laser show they put on for Cinco de Mayo. It was a cool show and we’re glad that we came. They put it on around dusk. Kids liked it as well and awesome plaza and park in front. Seating is hard to come by so arrive early or plan on sitting on the ground or standing the whole time.
The cathedral is religiously gorgeous! We attended the Saturday vigil mass and view the architecture afterwards. Many religious artifacts and glass arts were donated by generous people. It is very fascinating to witness the prayer room and able to stand at the heart of San Antonio!
Absolutely breathe taking. I definitely recommend the SA Light Saga to Catholic and non catholic alike. It's one of a kind!
It's a beautiful church. They even have a gift shop with amazing gifts. Also inside the gift shop is a history about the church. There's a light show I believe every night at 9pm with vendors in the court yard.
The church is a remarkable blend of simplicity, beauty, and rich history, adorned with exquisite art that offers diverse perspectives on faith. Its serene atmosphere encourages contemplation and deepens one’s understanding of spirituality. Through its intricate artwork and historical significance
✝️ Beautiful Historical Site ✝️
Perhaps most renowned for being the resting place of the Alamo heroes, Cathedral of San Fernando should be on every tourists’s itinerary of stops.
This medium-sized cathedral boasts beautiful colors, architecture, and atmosphere. From the statue of San Antonio out front, to the relics on display within, there are many artifacts to witness in person. Photographers will marvel at the silhouettes, balance, and alignment within.
The cathedral allows visitors to respectfully approach the altar, which must be seen up close in all its rich detail. Because services are held here and many come to pray during daylight hours, a respectful silence is asked of all who enter.
I visited around Christmastime when the cathedral had a “history of Texas” projection in the front of the cathedral. If you get the opportunity to see it, don’t miss out!
