These walls are the oldest standing structure in the State of Texas. The dome of the original church was the geographic center of the city and the point from which all mileage was calculated to San Antonio. In 1868 the eastern wall, including the original tower, the front of the church, the choir loft and baptistry were torn down to make room for the French Gothic building which is now the main body of the cathedral. This work was completed in 1873. Stained glass windows were added in 1920.
Symphonies, concerts, and television specials are but a few of the special events held in the Cathedral of San Fernando regularly. Hundreds of people enter the cathedral daily to pray, visit, light a candle, or follow various devotional traditions. Each person is a part of the story of this magnificent place and a tribute to its enduring presence as the spiritual center of San Antonio.
