The Alamo is one of the most important historic sites in America.
Part of a missionary station established in 1718, it was built by the Franciscans in 1744 and by 1836 it had been converted into a fort.
It became famous during the Texas Revolution, when a small force, including Davie Crockett and James Bowie, barricaded itself against an overwhelmingly superior Mexican army of about 3,000 men.
As the defeat saw all 187 defenders dead, the cry of "Remember the Alamo!" brought the state together to finally overcome the Mexicans.
