Spanish Governor's Palace

Facing the back of City Hall, this was the original seat of government in the early 1700s. Commandants of Presidio de Bexar and many Spanish governors lived and ruled in the 10-room abode-walled structure. The building with hand carved doors, low-beam ceilings, a grape arbor and a mosaic-tiled patio is typical of colonial Spain. The entryway displays a keystone carved with the Hapsburg coat-of-arms. Several rooms are furnished in period.

The Spanish Governor's Palace is maintained by the city of San Antonio as a museum and is open to the public.
