The Alamo & The Mission Trail - San Antonio, Texas - 1000 Places to See Before You Die on Waymarking.com

"The Alamo (San Antonio de Valero Mission) is a former mission and fortress compound, now a museum, in San Antonio, Texas located at 300 Alamo Plaza. The compound, which originally comprised a sanctuary and surrounding buildings, was built by the Spanish Empire in the 18th century for the education of local Native Americans after their conversion to Christianity. After its abandonment as a mission, it was used as a fortress in the 19th century and was the scene of several military actions, including most notably the 1836 Battle of the Alamo, one of the pivotal battles between the forces of the Republic of Texas and Mexico during the Texas Revolution. ~ Wikipedia

The Alamo was one of six missions established along the San Antonio River. The missions besides the Alamo that are part of the San Antonio Missions National Historic Park include San Jose Mission, Mission Concepcion, Mission San Juan Capistrano, and Mission San Francisco de la Espada
