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 much larger Mexican army. Though the defenders were ultimately defeated, the phrase "Remember the Alamo" became a rallying cry for the Texan army and is still widely commemorated today. The Alamo remains a museum and an emblem of Texan pride, symbolizing the valor and sacrifices of its defenders.
