Located in what is now San Antonio, Texas, The Alamo is best known for the Battle of the Alamo in 1836, where a small group of Texan defenders held out against a significantly larger Mexican army. This pivotal event in the Texas Revolution has since become a symbol of resistance and sacrifice for the cause of Liberty. The site today is a museum and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Texas, drawing millions of visitors each year to honor its complex history and the heroic figures associated with its past.
