Actually, the Alamo once was more impressive-- an entire mission.
The little building that is preserved was the chapel. The entire
park, which is still surrounded by the original or reconstructed
(I am not sure) wall was once filled with a big Spanish mission.
The most disgusting part is that the chapel, which is now only
a historical monument as you pointed out, is dominated by a made in
Hong Kong trinket shop. Hardly historically authentic.
