"Remember the Alamo” is a common phrase in Texas. It refers to the battle of the Alamo, which took place in San Antonio. Today though, the Alamo has been transformed into a popular tourist destination.

The History -

The reason why the Alamo is so important is because of the history behind it. A war between America and Mexico was fought at the Alamo over a hundred years ago. In 1744, the Alamo was constructed as a church; however, it was converted to a fort in 1793. A few decades later, this fort was besieged by Mexican troops.

The Mexican troops won the battle and killed all of the fighters that were defending the Alamo. However, the sacrifice that the fighters made emboldened other American troops to fight back with greater tenacity. Without the sacrifice of fighters like Davy Crockett, Texas might still belong to Mexico.

General Information -

The Alamo is located in downtown San Antonio. Parking can be a little difficult to come by due to crowds or construction work, so you may want to arrive early. As for hours of operation, the Alamo is open year round with the exception of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

How much does it cost to visit the Alamo? Nothing. It´s completely free thanks to private donations, the gift shop; etc. So be sure you buy something at the gift shop to help keep this tourist attraction free to the public.

What to Expect -

If you decide to visit the Alamo, then be prepared for big crowds. The Alamo is also near the Riverwalk and other popular tourist areas, which means even more people for you to deal with.

As for the Alamo itself, it has been kept in good condition. This is mostly due to various reconstruction efforts on the part of the city and other individuals. But you can still get a feel for what it must have been like in the past.
