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 fought against the Mexican Army, though they were ultimately defeated. Today, The Alamo is a museum and one of the most popular tourist sites in Texas, symbolizing courage and sacrifice for liberty.
