This tiny Texas town has the only fully restored Spanish fort in North America
You can stand inside a fort that Spain built in 1749 and still feel the weight of the walls around you. Presidio La Bahia sits on pastoral South Texas countryside just south of the small town of Goliad, and it holds the kind of history most people drive right past on their way to San Antonio.
