San Antonio is surrounded by rich agricultural regions and is historically interesting. The city is a square of thirty-six square miles, laid out according to the requirements of the original charter, with the cupola of the cathedral of San Fernando (originally built in 1734) exactly in the center. Near the cathedral is the historic Alamo, the chapel of the Franciscan Mission San Antonio de Valero (founded 1718), which since 1883 has been maintained by the state as a public monument and museum. Facing the military plaza where executions took place under Spanish and Mexican rule, is the former governor’s palace (1749), and south and west of the plaza lies the picturesque Mexican quarter. The Veramendi Palace, where Colonel B. R. Milam was killed (December 5, 1835) by a sharp shooter, is nearby. Above and around the quaint old buildings rise the tall hotels and business structures of the modern city.
