    The Alamo stands as an iconic symbol of courage, sacrifice, and Texas history. Constructed in the 18th century by Spanish settlers, the Alamo was initially known as Mission San Antonio de Padua and served as a religious outpost.

Travis, bravely resisted the Mexican forces led by General Antonio López de Santa Anna during the Battle of the Alamo. Today, the Alamo stands as a symbol of freedom, inviting visitors to explore its historic grounds, including the iconic chapel, barracks, and gardens. The Shrine of Texas Liberty showcases artifacts detailing the Alamo's rich history.
