The World Heritage Mural Trail is a collaborative public art project between the City of San Antonio’s Department of Arts & Culture and World Heritage Office, along with other City departments and community partners.

"Coahuiltecan Seasons" consists of four murals along Villamain Road, at its intersection with Camino Coahuilteca near Mission San Juan. "Coahuiltecan" is the name that historic Spanish missionaries called the many bands of Native people living in South Texas. It is a name still used by Native descendants today. The four murals pay tribute to the native plants and animals that have sustained generations in this region, and the seasonal migrations of the Coahuiltecan bands that populated this area for thousands of years.

Concept and art direction by Andy and Yvette Benavides of SMART, working with Ramon Vasquez of American Indians in Texas at the Spanish Colonial Missions.
