About the San Fernando Cathedral
This carriage tour offers up a fantastic sightseeing opportunity. At the center of San Antonio and the focus of the tour is the San Fernando Cathedral. This cathedral was originally a settlement location for colonists sent by King Philip of Spain in 1731. The small church was completed by 1749, in what is now the present building's sanctuary, making it the oldest structure in Texas. The Cathedral has survived a flood and fire in the 1800s that destroyed much of the building. Since then, for nearly 50 years, renovation work has been underway to restore the church's original beauty and assure its continued preservation. It is a beautiful testament to Texas culture and the efforts that the city takes to preserve its history.
Other notable attractions nearby include, of course, the Alamo, as well as several shops, restaurants, and hotels. This carriage ride allows you to soak in the fresh Texas air while exploring some awesome sights along the way. It is one of the most unique ways to go sightseeing in Alamo City, so climb aboard!
