The church's spire and stained glass reward a look from the surrounding streets. Its parishioners refused a developer's offer to move, so retail buildings rose around it instead. That unusual relationship between church and mall is the main reason to pause here near the Alamo.
What to look for
A Gothic spire rises above the surrounding retail buildings.
Stained glass reflects the church's nineteenth-century German Catholic roots.
The mall wraps around three sides of the church.
