The Alamo
The Alamo is arguably among the most recognizable buildings in the world. Originally known as Misión San Antonio de Valero, what is commonly known today as “The Alamo” is actually the church of the original mission, and is one of only two structures that remain from the much larger original compound. Ironically the distinctive campanulate, or bell-shaped façade that is so recognizable, was not added until the mid 1850s, well after The Battle of the Alamo (February 23 – March 6, 1836).
I can only hope that this image captures some of the spirit and majesty of this historic site.
Press L to "Remember the Alamo!"
