Located in San Antonio, Texas, it was the site of the Battle of the Alamo in 1836, an important event in the Texas Revolution where a small group of Texans held out for thirteen days against the Mexican general Santa Anna. Today, the Alamo is a museum and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Texas, symbolizing the heroic resistance of its defenders and serving as a shrine of Texan independence.
