Goliad State Park & Historic Site Details

This park is the perfect mix of historical landmarks and natural landscapes. You can start your morning with a hike or bike ride before exploring one of the centuries-old landmarks scattered around this 188-acre park. One of the most iconic buildings is the Nuestra Señora del Espíritu Santo de Zuñiga, which was constructed on this site on 1749. Although it was left to crumble to ruins in 1830, the Civilian Conservation Corps restored the building to increase tourism in the park. You'll also find other landmarks like the Mission Nuestra Señora del Rosario, the Fannin Memorial Monument, and the Presidio La Bahía. Besides exploring the monuments, you can fish, swim, or kayak along the river. There's also a scenic trail that leads 2.5 miles around the park and past each of the historic buildings.
