The Alamo Mission in San Antonio, Texas, USA, is a historic Spanish mission and fortress compound founded in the 18th century by Roman Catholic missionaries. Known simply as "The Alamo," it played a pivotal role in the Texas Revolution, most famously during the Battle of the Alamo in 1836 when a small group of Texian defenders held out against the Mexican Army.
