Mission Espada on its current site in San Antonio was built beginning in 1745 and completed in 1756, according to the National Park Service.
The Mission is on San Antonio’s south side just outside Loop 410 on Espada Road (Roosevelt Road exit from Loop 410).
It is the farthest south of the missions in San Antonio and is about two miles from Mission San Juan.
