Located in San Antonio, Texas, it was the site of the Battle of the Alamo in 1836, an important event in the Texas Revolution where a small group of Texan defenders held out against a vastly larger Mexican army before being overpowered. Today, the Alamo is a museum and a symbol of Texans' struggle for independence, attracting millions of visitors each year who come to pay homage to the resilience and bravery of its defenders.
