This is one of the most iconic historical buildings in San Antonio. Living in SA for 13 years has allowed me to have many encounters with this building. Texas history states this used to be a fort that resulted in the last stand of early days Texans against the invading Mexican army. The aesthetics of the building give you an old world vibe and gives you an idea of how the structure of buildings were composed of back in the day. The front door is the entrance into the fort thats behind it. My lasting impression will always be how the battle was fought hard and long even though the Texans were severely outnumbered. The famous “come and take it” slogan is a great depiction of the events that happened here.
