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, including James Bowie and Davy Crockett, held out against a significantly larger Mexican army for 13 days. The phrase "Remember the Alamo" became a rallying cry for Texan independence, which was achieved later that year. Today, the Alamo serves as a museum and a symbol of Texan pride and resilience.
