Spanish Governor's Palace
The Spanish Governor's Palace dates back to 1749, when it was used to house military commanders sent to manage Villa de San Fernando, an early settlement in San Antonio.
In the early 1800s, the building became private property and served as a used clothing store, a tailor's shop and a barroom called The Hole in the Wall. By the time San Antonio's Conservation Society bought the building in 1929, the building was in shambles, with only the walls remaining.
The Spanish Governor's Mansion has been open as a museum since 1931. Visitors can admire the antique Spanish and Mexican furniture, art and housewares, along with the mansion's elaborate ballroom and reception room.
The mansion is located behind City Hall at 105 Plaza de Armas, between Commerce and Dolorosa streets. It is open Monday through Saturday, and there is a small admission fee. For more
information call the San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department at 224-0601.
