Description
Mission Nuestra Senora de la Purisima Concepcion de Acura (also Mission Concepcion) was established in 1716 as Nuestra Senora de la Purisima Concepcion de los Hainais in East Texas. The mission was moved in 1731 to San Antonio. After its relocation most of the people in the mission were Pajalats who spoke a Coahuiltecan language. Founded by Franciscan friars, this is the best preserved of the Texas missions.
