Alamo Mission
The Alamo Mission, founded in 1718 as Mission San Antonio de Valero, was a Franciscan mission at San Antonio in Spanish Texas that gathered Coahuiltecan peoples. Secularised in 1793, it later housed a Spanish cavalry company and took its name from them. During the Texas Revolution its small garrison was besieged by Santa Anna's army and killed on 6 March 1836, and 'Remember the Alamo' became the Texans' rallying cry.
