Built to host the 1968 World's Fair, which aimed to celebrate the civilizations in the Americas and the cultural diversity of San Antonio, Hemisfair Park is a local historic district of the city of San Antonio.

Built on the site of a historic neighborhood, Hemisfair Park features numerous beautifully preserved and renovated buildings and structures in various architectural styles, from simple adobe homes of the Mexican era and exquisite haciendas from the Spanish Colonial Era to elegant mansions from the late nineteenth century.

Many of the charming buildings have been designated as State Archeological Landmarks, and visitors to the district can also see structures that were built specifically for the World’s Fair, including the Tower of the Americas, an iconic feature of the San Antonio skyline.
