Presidio La Bahía
Fort · Goliad, Texas
A Spanish colonial fort on the San Antonio River at Goliad, founded in 1721 and moved to this site in 1749, restored in the 1960s and described by the Texas Historical Commission as considered the world's finest example of a Spanish frontier fort. It is a National Historic Landmark, one of the few surviving colonial presidios in North America, and the place where Colonel James Fannin and roughly four hundred Texian prisoners were executed on Palm Sunday 1836 — the massacre that made "Remember Goliad" a rallying cry at San Jacinto.
