It is most famous for the Battle of the Alamo in 1836, a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution where a small group of Texan defenders fought against the considerably larger Mexican army. Despite the defeat, “Remember the Alamo†became a rallying cry for Texan independence and is deeply ingrained in American folklore. Today, the Alamo is a museum and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting millions of visitors each year, drawn to its historical significance and its role in American identity.
