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 held out against a much larger Mexican army for 13 days. The Alamo has since become a museum and is now a symbol of Texans' struggle for independence, drawing over four million visitors annually, making it one of the most visited historic sites in the United States.:
