Main Plaza serves as the heart of downtown San Antonio, maintained as the city's public and visitor core since the early 18th century. The Spanish colonial-style plaza has been named as one of the United States' 10 Great Public Spaces and showcases the gorgeous San Fernando Cathedral, the country's oldest preserved cathedral sanctuary. Public presentations of San Antonio: The Saga, a unique multimedia visual installation detailing the city's history, are showcased several nights a week on the cathedral's facade. The flexible public space is home to public-use tables, charming fountains, and innovative landscaping, serving as the venue for several annual public special events, including city farmer's markets. Food trucks are often parked on site, with musical acts, art installations, and art vendors showcased on site periodically.
