Alamo Plaza Historic District
Alamo Plaza Historic District, Historic district in downtown San Antonio, United States.
The Alamo Plaza Historic District contains the Alamo chapel, public plaza, and surrounding commercial structures built during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Mission San Antonio de Valero transformed from a Spanish mission in 1718 to a military garrison in 1793, protecting Spanish colonial territories from French expansion.
Native Americans received shelter and protection from Franciscan missionaries at Mission San Antonio de Valero in exchange for adopting Christianity and Spanish names.
The district features the Alamo Museum, which incorporates the Woolworth building, Crockett Block building, and old post office for interpreting the 1836 battle.
William Reuter funded the construction of the first bandstand on the plaza in 1891, with a replica standing in the same location today.
