Coordinates: 29°25′33″N 98°29′10″W. The Alamo is a historic Spanish mission and fortress compound founded in the 18th century by Roman Catholic missionaries in what is now San Antonio, Texas, United States.
The Battle of the Alamo (February 23 – March 6, 1836) was a pivotal event and military engagement in the Texas Revolution. Following a 13-day siege, Mexican troops under President General Antonio López de Santa Anna reclaimed the Alamo Mission near San Antonio de Béxar (modern-day San Antonio, Texas, United States).
This schematic diagram shows the Alamo Plaza area in downtown San Antonio today; 1836 Battlefield walls and footprint included. Trees and vegetation have been omitted to show the structures more clearly. Alamo Street (in pink) runs diagonally across the graphic, north and south across the Battlefield.
The Alamo sits in the middle of downtown San Antonio, below towering skyscrapers. The juxtaposition is jarring, although you’d be hard pressed to find commercial images that show the building in its present urban context.
