The San Antonio Missions heritage site of Unesco are a group of five frontier mission complexes situated along a 12.4-kilometer (7.7-mile) stretch of the San Antonio River basin in southern Texas. These complexes, according to Unesco, ‘were built in the early eighteenth century’ which collectively exhibit the ‘Spanish Crown’s efforts to colonize, evangelize and defend the northern frontier of New Spain’.

The heritage site interweaves two cultures: the Spanish and the Coahuiltecan’; the amalgamation of culture of the indigenous peoples of the region with these two cultures is not clear; the five missions were selected on the basis of their geographical unity in the San Antonio River Basin. Though seems to have been founded independently, the missions located at a distance of less than five kilometres from each other share a common past and a common historic origin. The heritage site complexes were never built, as suggested, with a common intention of defending themselves from an external attack.

The Mission Valero is called ‘the Alamo’; the urban components of the individual sites are linked to San Antonio. The name Valero and the name Alamo hold their common past where meaning of San and Antonio bear their respective historical identity through the many events of the ancient world. Valero is as same as Bolar or Beluva of Buddhist history; shrine of Madhava, the Bodhisattva, stands here as a neighbour to Ananta shrine. Ananta is name of a Naga or the Serpnet king which is known to history as Ant . He was a giant of the ancient world. Alamo refers to the goddess ‘Allo-Ma’ and this name is  known to other texts as ‘Lo’; the natural human calling for this goddess at the time of danger is ‘Allo-Ma-Lo’; Alexander’s historians called this deity as ‘Allan’ or ‘Alan’. It is homonymous with Allah and El or Ayila or Ila or Illa. The fact that it is under the control of the ‘Daughters’ of Republic of Texas points to the original seat of worship of goddess in the Women’s Country. Mission San José , Missions Espada, Mission San Juan and Mission Rancho de las Cabras wre historical partners of ancient Cos people; the latter identifies the ancient Kosala kingdom which is as same as Caesarea of Roman civilization sitting on the bank of the river Cos or Kos whose other name was Kua or Kau, means ‘Crow’;
