One of the biggest tourist attractions in The Alamo is the Alamo Church, which was built in 1755.
The church had an important role in the Battle of the Alamo and now stands as a memorial to the Alamo Defenders.
The Long Barrack Museum is located inside the oldest building in the Alamo. It was original built as a two story convento, which served as the quarters and offices for Spanish Missionaries.
Although not in the compounds of The Alamo, just a short 5 minute walk away on the banks of the River Walk is the Briscoe Western Art Museum, which is houses inside the former public library.
The museum contains exhibits and artefacts from Texas’s Western era. You can see art that depict stories of cowboys, Native Americans, and the vaquero.
