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.

Experience the beauty as you visit Villa Finale Museum & Gardens, one of the last homes of local preservationist Walter Nold Mathis who revitalized the historic King William neighborhood. Take a self-guided or guided tour, and enjoy a close-up look at the unique art and antique collection. Need to plan a special event? Ville Finale's facade, lush gardens, and river-side location provide a gorgeous backdrop for your wedding, graduation, quinceañera, or other special occasions.
