Originally built as a Roman Catholic mission and military compound, it was the site of the Battle of the Alamo in 1836, during which Texan defenders fought against Mexican troops led by President General Antonio López de Santa Anna. Despite the defenders’ ultimate defeat, "Remember the Alamo" became a rallying cry for Texan independence, which was achieved later that year. The Alamo continues to be celebrated as a symbol of resistance and sacrifice in the face of overwhelming odds.
