San Antonio is one of the America's loveliest cities, known as a major center of Spanish colonial heritage due to its preserved mission sites, including the internationally-renowned 18th-century Alamo Mission, famed for its connection to Texas' battle for independence. Several historic missions can be viewed as part of the citywide historic Missions Trail, including Mission Concepción and Mission San Jose. Downtown, the charming San Antonio River Walk spans the banks of the San Antonio River and is home to waterfront dining and attractions such as the 1968 World's Fair-connected Hemisfair Park. Three major amusement parks are located near the city, including popular Six Flags Fiesta Texas and SeaWorld San Antonio. Major special events hosted in the city throughout the year include the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, one of the largest rodeos in America.
