Mission San José Doorway

San Antonio, Texas

The church at Mission San José y San Miguel de Aguayo, known as the "Queen of the Missions," was constructed between 1768 and 1782. It is the second church of the Mission, originally founded in 1720. Constructed of limestone, the church has two domes, a tower, an elaborate Baroque facade and an intricately carved Rose window.

  1. J'adore le contraste entre les simples murs de pierre et les entrelacs compliqués autour de la porte!

  3. les murs bruts des côtés mettent en valeur les entrelacs du Baroque tandis que "le noir et blanc" unifie les reliefs.
