Spanish Governor's Palace

This small downtown historic site preserves the former presidio commandant's residence and courtyard, a quieter way into San Antonio's Spanish colonial past.

Why go

The building is one of the last visible remnants of the Presidio San Antonio de Béjar. Its rooms and courtyard put the city's military and domestic colonial history on a human scale, especially after the larger mission sites. The name is grander than the building's original role: it was a commandant's home and office.

What to look for

  • The former commandant's residence survives from the presidio.
  • A courtyard is part of the historic visit.

Useful to know

  • Combine it with nearby Historic Market Square for two very different views of the old downtown.
