Significance: Established on its present site, circa 1740, Mission San Jose is the most complete of the five extant mission complexes dating from the eighteenth century to be found in San Antonio. The surviving buildings are of significance to the study of Texas colonial history and provide the contemporary observer with a visual concept of this important frontier institution. The San Jose church is particularly significant as an architectural monument.
