Adobe Church at the movie set of Alamo Village (Picture A Day August 6, 2009)
Located in the center of Alamo Village, the old adobe church. Alamo Village is a reproduction western town constructed fifty years ago for the filming of the John Wayne movie 'The Alamo', two hours west of San Antonio. Over the decades, it has served as the movie set for dozens of movies and shows, and serves as a year-round tourist stop for wayward travelers. This church building, constructed especially by the set designer Alfred Ybarra, was intended as a stand-in for the much larger old San Fernando Church in San Antonio - not exactly a faithful reproduction.
