The Alamo
The Alamo, a historic 18th-century Franciscan mission situated in San Antonio, Texas, occupies a significant position in American history. It has been recognized as a United States National Historic Landmark since 1960 and has been part of Texas's only UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015. Exploring the site of the 1836 siege can touch visitors' hearts. During this event, a small group of revolutionaries, including famous names like Davy Crockett, William Travis, and James Bowie, bravely defended the fort against thousands of Mexican troops.
Its recent accolade as the Best Free Attraction in the nation underscores its significance and appeal to visitors from all over. Serving as a key destination for those interested in Texan and American history, the Alamo offers free admission to its iconic church. However, to ensure the preservation of its invaluable artifacts, reservations are necessary.
