The Battle of the Alamo (Feb 23 - Mar 6, 1836) is the most famous battle of the
Texas revolutionaries war against Mexico. In this battle the Texan revolutionarys
were outnumbered and cornered in the Alamo mission by the Mexican army led
by President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. Two attempts to siege the Alamo failed
before the Texans were finally overtaken on the third attack. Alamo historians
agree that between 182 and 257 Texans were killed in this battle and between 400
and 600 Mexicans were killed. Although the Texans lost the battle, it was
remembered throughout the rest of the war and gave life to the cause of Texas

9. Style of Architecture and engravings of
Alamo
• The spanish style that it most represents is called the
mudéjar and neo-mudéjar styles. This in combo with
indigeneous styles (due to the different types of material
used for building -to accomodate the climate, building
materials and functionality of the structure) made what we
can witness in the facade of the Alamo and other like
structures such as the mission of san carlos borromeo de
carmelo in California.
• The wonder of the structure is that it reminds Texans of
the state's Hispanic heritage.
• "When you go to the Alamo you can still feel what it was
like to be a pioneer almost 300 years ago," Speck said. "It's
not just a building. It's a lifestyle.“
