Mission San Francisco de la Espada, San Antonio, Texas
 Once again the typical church, and though you see a lot of them, I personally never tire of them.  I think they are beautiful and quite charming.  Mission Espada was also moved here in 1731 from East Texas.  Its original name was San Francisco de los Tejas, and was renamed with the relocation.  Not clear enough in this photo, the entryway is covered by a massive stone arch.
