San Antonio: one of the oldest, most historic cities in Texas with an authentic culture that can only be experienced to be believed. The same goes for the San Fernando Cathedral in the heart of the city. A few nights a week, a magnificent light show whose splendor can’t be fathomed until it’s seen is projected onto its face. You definitely don’t want to miss this incredible display of San Antonio, Texas, and United States history.
Upon first glance, it looks like an ordinary (albeit beautiful) cathedral…

The work is that of French Painter Xavier de Richemont, who lives and works in Paris but put together this spectacular show for us all the way in Texas.
