The Alamo

San Antonio, TX

This is a sculpture of San Antonio de Valero, called the Alamo. It is not a model but rather an impression of the feel of the structure with the age and history that it has gone through. The actual mission was founded in 1718. The building itself was started in 1744 but the inscription above the door says 1758. It is most famous and revered for the heroic but fatal stand of 1836 against General Santa Anna and his troops for independence from Mexico.
