These are the remains of the convento at Mission San Jose in San Antonio, TX. The convento housed the missionaries, among others. In 1785 the convento had 9 rooms downstairs and 5 rooms upstairs. The ruins you see now is the result of a major reconstruction which was begun, but never finished, by Benedictine monks in 1861. Not a perfect shot I know, but I couldn't resist the lovely arches under the warm Texas sun, lol.
