NUESTRA SEÑORA DE LA PURISIMA CONCEPCIÓN DE ACUÑA MISIÓN. Misión Concepción was originally established in East Texas in 1716 and moved to its present site in San Antonio in 1731. Misión Concepción is the best preserved Spanish mission in Texas. Its stone church, which was completed in 1755 and has never fallen into ruin, is considered by some historians to be the oldest unrestored church in the United States. Concepción was the second of six Franciscan missions established on both sides of the present Texas-Louisiana border by the Ramon expedition of 1716-17.
