    What To Expect

    The Alamo

    The Alamo stands as an iconic symbol of courage, sacrifice, and Texas history. Constructed in the 18th century by Spanish settlers, the Alamo was initially known as Mission San Antonio de Padua and served as a religious outpost. However, its destiny changed in 1836 when a small group of Texan defenders, including figures like James Bowie and William B. Travis, bravely resisted the Mexican forces led by General Antonio López de Santa Anna during the Battle of the Alamo. Today, the Alamo stands as a symbol of freedom, inviting visitors to explore its historic grounds, including the iconic chapel, barracks, and gardens. The Shrine of Texas Liberty showcases artifacts detailing the Alamo's rich history. This destination captures the intense events of Texas' struggle for independence, immersing visitors in echoes of bravery and resilience that shaped the Lone Star State. A visit to the Alamo provides a vivid journey through the dramatic tales of Texas history.
