The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in El Presidio, Arizona (AZ)
Although Tucson's fantastic weather, national parks and forests and desert provide the perfect environment for tons of outdoor recreational activities, this city of half a million people also has its share of history and culture. With a history that goes back much further than many of its southwestern neighbors, Tucson boasts turn-of-the-century architecture, historic neighborhoods, museums and the Mission San Xavier del Bac, a still-functioning 18th-century mission considered one of the most beautiful in the U.S. Mexican and Native American influences are pervasive, and the city has a distinctly Western flavor. There's also a college-town atmosphere, thanks to the University of Arizona, which has its own share of museums and a science center. Whether golfing at a world-class golf resort, horseback riding, hiking in the wilderness, discovering desert flora and fauna at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum or exploring pre-Columbian and other art at the Tucson Art Museum, you'll have a mind-boggling array of things to do.

My wife and I enjoyed this museum about the Presidio San Agustin del Tucson 1775-1856. The Mexicans were here. For 80 years the adobe walls of Tucson Presidio. It shows here how they lived. The patio could make it longer. Mexican soldiers lived here. In this museum, they had paintings at the time of the Presidio. People cooked outside and sometimes inside, where the beds were there. They made their bread. They had a Presidio Chapel. The guide was truly nice and new the times when the Presidio was here.
