About The Alamo

The Alamo, originally founded in 1718 as Mission San Antonio de Valero, stands as a testament to over 300 years of history. This iconic landmark, now celebrated as a symbol of Texas independence, has played a pivotal role under six flags of independent nations and has been a garrison for five different armies. The Alamo is renowned for its 1836 battle, a defining moment in Texas history. Visiting the Alamo offers families a unique opportunity to explore and learn about its rich heritage and the bravery and sacrifices that shaped Texas.
