This Week: Presidio La Bahia

The chapel inside the fort was built for the use of the soldiers and the Spanish settlers that were living in the towns around the fort.  It is the oldest building in the compound and has been in continuous use since the 1700s.  It is one of the oldest churches in the United States.  Fannin's men were held in the chapel during part of their captivity before their execution and the First Declaration of Texas Independence was signed in the chapel.  

La Grande Wheel is on sale today at Wozofoto.
