The mission's name translates to "Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception" and it was dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It is one of the oldest churches in Texas and features a blend of Spanish Colonial and Mexican Baroque architectural styles.

Its interior features an impressive barrel-vaulted nave, with intricate stone carvings and ornate frescoes painted by artist Antonio Montañés in 1704. The mission's church also boasts a stunning collection of original 18th-century artwork.

Today, Mission Concepción is a museum and a place of worship, attracting visitors from around the world who come to marvel at its beauty and significance in American history.
