Truly a gem of El Paso and the state of Texas, the Ysleta Mission is the oldest mission in the state of Texas and an icon to Spaniards and the Native Americans where their cultures came together. The Ysleta Mission is a beautiful Catholic Church that has stood the test of time and is a must see along the Mission Trail. I also received my First Communion in this Church many years ago and it will forever be a special place to me.

This is the oldest Mission in El Paso. I travel and am fascinated by Missions and ancient architecture. This was a great find. It has a lot of history; too bad we couldnt get inside!

This church is beautiful, is very accesible from any part of El Paso area. I highly recommend to do the Mission Trail. The church buildings are in close proximity. Take advantage of this historic place, is part of our Mexican American history.

Very pretty old church. Not too much to see inside. Lots of old history but the church itself had burnt down many times. I was able to park the church itself. Should not take too long to see it. Was in sort of a isolated community a little bit away from downtown.

This is the oldest of three historic missions on the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, the ancient highway from Mexico City up through Santa Fe. A funeral was underway when I arrived. So, I did not go in. However, this will be worth a return visit when I have time. Its beautiful as are the other missions.

Historic Landmark. Established in 1680 by the Tigua Indians this is the oldest town in Texas. Tiguas continue to worship at the nearby Lady of Mt. Carmel with the feast of sant Antonio da Padua on June 13 being the most important for the tribe.

Excellent vintage church that was built by the Spanish in 1682 in an effort to colonize that part of Texas and to convert the indigenous (Commanche, Chiricahua Apache & Tigua Tiwa) people in the area to christianity. Very beautiful and historic church. Hard wood floors, wooden benches. Beautiful place to worship and there is a casino near by with games and alcohol. All Praise be to Christ Jesus.
