Walk among legends as you enjoy a guided tour that leads you through the courtyard revealing the story of the 1836 Battle of the Alamo.

- From there, you will make your way to your next stop, the San Fernando Cathedral. The stunning Spanish Colonial architectural masterpiece has been a cherished landmark for over 300 years. It boasts intricate details on the facade and a tranquil atmosphere inside, perfect for contemplation and reflection.
