Famous for the pivotal 1836 battle during the Texas Revolution, it symbolizes the heroic resistance of its defenders. Although the battle was a Mexican victory, "Remember the Alamo" became a rallying cry that significantly aided the success of Texas forces later in the war. Today, The Alamo is not only a museum but a monument to Texas pride and resilience, attracting millions of visitors each year who come to pay homage to its storied past.
