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 Mexican Army. Although the Texans lost the battle, "Remember the Alamo" became a rallying cry for Texan independence, which was achieved later that year. Today, The Alamo is a museum and an emblem of Texas pride and resilience, drawing millions of visitors each year.
