It is renowned for the Battle of the Alamo in 1836, where a small group of Texan defenders, including James Bowie and Davy Crockett, fought bravely against the Mexican Army. Despite their defeat, "Remember the Alamo" became a rallying cry for Texan independence, which was achieved later that year. Today, The Alamo is a museum and a symbol of Texas’ struggle for independence, attracting millions of visitors each year.
