San Fernando Cathedral - San Antonio (TX)

5 /5 Linda Joy: I went here for a 24 minute video art projection at 9 p.m. It was wonderful. Beautiful storytelling captured on the facade of the San Fernando Cathedral. I had read that you need to get there early to find a seat but I arrived only 10 minutes early and there was still plenty of seats left. The show started promptly at 9 p.m. I highly recommend this free showing of colorful depictions of San Antonios developments, history, and battles. (Note: there is a donation box station to the right of the grounds in front of the church).

4 /5 Jerry F: Would be 5 stars if the sound system was better than what it is now. The light show is definitely worth seeing. Available from Tuesday to Sunday at 9pm. Lasts about 25 mins. With the poor sound quality I recommend sitting in front (between two polls with the speakers).

5 /5 M Slezak: This lovely Cathedral is located a short easy from the Alamo in San Antonio. Some of the heteros were entombed here after being buried under an altar for a number years. There is a great gift shop on the grounds, loads of historical markers and an outside area in the front with seats where events are held. I highly recommend this site.

5 /5 John Crosby: Absolutely beautiful! Being in my mid 50’s I grew up on stories of the Alamo. I was surprised by a large “casket” in the entry where the remains of some of the Alamo defenders are interred. My wife and I were in a nearby hotel and came here for Saturday evening mass. Very convenient walk from the Embassy Suites. Incredible service with a priest who gave a very meaningful homily. Will go here on our next visit to San Antonio.

5 /5 Saide Oppelt-Berggoetz: I try to go to the cathedral every time we visit San Antonio. I love its grandeur, but also its sacred feel. It is the most peaceful thing to escape from the busyness of the Riverwalk and just sit and reflect in the quiet of the cathedral.
