The Mission Trail links the five 18th-century Spanish missions that laid the foundation for modern-day San Antonio. Each of the five missions on San Antonio's Mission Trail dates back to the days when Spain attempted to extend its reach in the New World by converting Native Americans to Catholicism. The most famous of the Mission Trail's missions is Mission San Antonio de Valero - best known as The Alamo. Site of a major battle during the Texas struggle for independence from Mexico.
