OVERVIEW

Founded in 1718 as Mission San Antonio de Valero on land long inhabited by Coahuiltecan peoples, the compound was secularized and later used as a fort. In 1836 it was the site of the 13-day siege and Battle of the Alamo, where the defenders were killed; combatants and civilians of Tejano, Anglo, and Mexican background are part of its history. It is a revered memorial and a state historic site.

REPORTED ACTIVITY

For generations visitors and staff have reported apparitions in period dress, footsteps, and cold spots in the church and Long Barrack; such accounts are treated here as local lore, secondary to the site's role as a place of remembrance.

VISITING

Open to the public as a museum and memorial; admission to the church is free with timed entry.
