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, fought bravely against a much larger Mexican army. Today, the Alamo is a museum in the Alamo Plaza Historic District and is visited by millions of tourists each year. It has become a symbol of resilience and sacrifice for the cause of Liberty.
